Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to a thrust reverser for a gas turbine engine. As a translating cowl is translated aft from the nacelle of the gas turbine engine, a cascade is also translated in the aft direction and a blocker door coupled to the cascade is pivoted into a fan duct by means of a camming surface, thereby diverting air in the fan duct through the cascade. In the stowed position, both the cascade and the blocker door are disposed radially outward of a radially inner wall of the nacelle and/or the translating cowl.
