A thrust reverser assembly for a gas turbine engine including a core engine, a nacelle surrounding at least a portion of the core engine defining a bypass duct between the nacelle and the core engine where an outer door movable between a stowed position and a deployed position extends outwards from the nacelle and a blocker door movable between a stowed position and a deployed position extends into an airflow conduit defined by the bypass duct to deflect air outwards.

Thrust reverser assembly

A thrust reverser assembly for high-bypass turbofan engine. The thrust reverser assembly includes a translating cowl mounted to a nacelle of an engine. The thrust reverser assembly includes blocker doors axially guided adjacent first ends thereof by a fixed structure and pivotally and slidably connected along lengths thereof to an inner wall of the translating cowl so that translation of the translating cowl in the aft direction causes the blocker door to move from a stowed position to a deployed position. The thrust reverser assembly includes a stop disposed on the core engine or on the blocker door, receiving the load from the high pressure airflow, otherwise borne by an actuation system when deploying the translating cowl and blocker door.

A gas turbine engine and thrust reverser assembly having a set of outer doors movable between a stowed position and a deployed position, where the set of outer doors extends outwards from the nacelle and a set of blocker doors movable between a stowed position and an deployed position, where the set of blocker door extends into an air flow conduit defined by the bypass duct to deflect air outwards.
