Abstract
A thrust reverser for a fan jet engine having a splitter in the fan duct in a plane with the fixed cascades is designed with blocker doors positioned to block flow between the splitter and the outer wall when in the deployed position. The splitter and supports are positioned to simultaneously uncover the cascades and block flow in the remaining portion of the duct. This design contemplates elimination of the blocker door drag links that typically extends into the duct passageway.
