Abstract
A thrust reverser door for a turbofan-type turobjet engine thrust reversing system is disclosed defining a gas flow passage between inner and outer panels of the door. The passae has an inlet formed through the inner panel of the thrust reverser door and an outlet, directs a portion of the gas flowing through a cold flow air duct in a forward direction. The gas flowing in the forward direction inpinges upon gases flowing through a laterally facing opening in the housing in order to provide a forward component to this gas flow. A moveable flap may be attached to the thrust reverser door in order to cover the inlet to the passageway when the device is operated in the forward thrust mode.
