Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a fan duct, an inner fixed structure, and a thrust reverser assembly. The inner fixed structure forms an inner diameter of the fan duct and encloses a core compartment. The thrust reverser assembly includes a linkage assembly mounted to the inner fixed structure within the fan duct. The linkage assembly is adapted to act as a ventilation system that allows for communication between the fan duct and the core compartment.
