Abstract
An aircraft thrust reverser having a plurality of doors rotatably secured to linkage members at each door's center, and rotatably secured to a carriage ring at one end. As the carriage ring moves toward the direction of travel of the aircraft, the linkage members cause the doors to extend in a forward slope, intercepting fan air and directing it outward and forward.
