Abstract
Aspects are directed to a system that includes an outer structure of a thrust reverser, a blocker door, and a plurality of four-bar mechanisms arranged in series with one another that couple the outer structure and the blocker door. Aspects are directed to a system for a thrust reverser of an aircraft that includes a blocker door, a kinematic mechanism configured to actuate the blocker door, and a pressure shelf, where the blocker door is configured to reside below the pressure shelf in proximity to a duct of the thrust reverser, and where at least a portion of the kinematic mechanism is configured to reside above the pressure shelf.
