Abstract
A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbofan-type turbojet engine having a cowling bounding a gas flow duct in which the thrust reverser has a plurality of thrust reverser doors each pivotally attached to the cowling so as to be movable between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position which redirects the gases passing through the gas flow duct outwardly from the cowling to produce a reverse thrust. At least one of the plurality of thrust reverser doors having a width, measured in a generally circumferential direction around the cowling, less than a corresponding width of at least one of the other thrust reverser doors.
