Abstract
Symmetric cascade thrust reversers and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first cascade and a second cascade, the first cascade and the second cascade to be radially spaced relative to a longitudinal axis of a first aircraft engine extending in a fore-aft direction, the first cascade to provide a first flow characteristic and the second cascade to provide a second flow characteristic, the first flow characteristic provided by the first cascade symmetric relative to the second flow characteristic of the second cascade with respect to a vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the aircraft engine.
