Abstract
A by-pass gas turbine engine capable of producing an unmixed exhaust stream which comprises a core of hot turbine exhaust gases surrounded by an annular layer of by-pass air, is combined with a target thrust reverser. The ratio of the total pressure of the by-pass air to the total pressure of the turbine exhaust gases is arranged to be greater than unity to a significant extent, and the buckets are made from lightweight materials such as titanium, light alloys or even fiber re-inforced composite materials.
