Abstract
An aircraft propulsor with a thrust reverser with a pressure relief system is disclosed herein. The aircraft propulsor can include a flow path and a blocker door configured to block the flow path to divert airflow within the flow path to generate reverse thrust. The blocker door can include a main door and a pressure relief door. The pressure relief door can be coupled to the main door and configured to move from a closed position to an open position in response to flow path pressure greater than a threshold pressure. Moving the pressure relief door to the open position can relieve flow path pressure.
