Abstract
A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine is disclosed having a movable component, such as a thrust reverser door, operatively associated with an engine housing, and vanes formed on the upstream edge portion of the movable component and extending inwardly from an interior surface. The vanes, which extend in a direction generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the engine, are located in an array which extends across the upstream edge portion of the movable component from one side to the other. The vanes each may be generally triangular in configuration and have one side attached to the inner surface of the movable component and another side attached to a gas flow deflector extending laterally across the front edge of the movable component.
