Abstract
A jet engine cowl includes a thrust reverser in which a cowl portion is movable to open a gap in the flow duct wall. The movable cowl portion is further divided, to enable one portion to be moved faster than its complementary portion. The difference in speed of movement provides a drive face to pivot blocker flaps across the flow duct.
