Abstract
An improvement made to jet-engine thrust reversers and, more particularly, to reversers called tilting-door reversers. The doors are equipped, on their upstream portion, with a flow-deflecting overlay 90 which, in the open-door position, is in a position close to a line PM parallel to the axis of the engine 1, the overlay making with the inner door skin an angle B greater than 90.degree., preferably between 105.degree. and 110.degree.. The invention is more particularly applicable to dual-flow engines.
