Abstract
A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine is disclosed having a thrust reverser door and a thrust reverser panel pivotally attached to a housing so as to pivot in opposite directions about the same pivot axis. An epicyclic gear mechanism interconnects the housing, the thrust reverser door and the thrust reverser panel such that the thrust reverser door and the thrust reverser panels move in opposite directions about the common pivot axis when moving between their forward thrust and reverse thrust positions.
