Abstract
A thrust reverser comprised of two pivoting doors for engines mounted on an aircraft rear fuselage. For thrust reversal, the two pivoting doors are rotated into the mixed flow by two actuators, one actuator per door. On the extremities of each pivoting door, efflux flow turning devices are installed. These devices are removable boxes comprised of deflectors that can be oriented to turn the flow. Two boxes are required for each pivoting door.
