A thrust reverser for an aircraft includes a jetpipe and a thrust reverser door. The thrust reverser door has an aft end, a forward end, and an interior surface facing radially inward. The interior surface defines a continuous profile with a downstream nozzle portion directly adjacent to the aft end, a concave portion directly adjacent to the downstream nozzle portion, and a convex portion directly adjacent to the forward end and adjacent to the concave portion.

According to the present teachings, an aircraft engine configured to controllably shed ice during icing conditions is presented. The engine has a member operating at a first angular velocity having a surface divided into a first ice accumulating surface configured to collect ice, and a first shadow surface configured to resist the collection of ice. A first flange is disposed between the first ice accumulating surface and the first shadow surface.

A vane assembly for distribution of a stratified fluid in an aircraft is taught herein. The vane assembly includes a housing including a housing inlet and a housing outlet. The housing inlet is configured to receive the stratified fluid with the stratified fluid including a first portion and a second portion. The housing outlet is configured to exhaust the stratified fluid. The housing defines an interior housing volume between the housing inlet and the housing outlet. The vane assembly further includes a vane disposed within the interior housing volume and bisecting the interior housing volume. The vane includes a leading edge adjacent the housing inlet and a trailing edge adjacent the housing outlet. The trailing edge is angularly offset from the leading edge.
