Abstract
The present invention relates to a gas turbine engine which is provided with a thrust reverser with unfoldable doors and which is of the double jet type, i.e. comprising a central generator emitting a jet of hot gas and surrounded by an annular by-pass conduit through which a jet of relatively cold gas passes, wherein said turbine engine comprises means for restricting the passage of the jet of relatively cold gas in said annular by-pass conduit when the doors of the thrust reverser are unfolded. The invention results in a simplification of the structure of the doors of the thrust reverser.
