Abstract
The present invention relates to a thrust reverser for a turbojet engine that improves the efficiency of the engine in both the forward thrust and reverse thrust operating modes. The invention achieves these goals by providing deflector panels attached to a stationary engine housing structure that are moveable between forward thrust and reverse thrust positions as the thrust reversing doors are moved between their forward thrust and reverse thrust positions. The deflector panels are attached to the housing so as to have a single degree of freedom and are actuated by linkages interconnecting them with the thrust reversing door actuator cylinder.
