Abstract
The invention relates to a bypass turbojet engine having pivoting, hollow thrust reverser doors which, in the forward thrust configuration, are integrated into the external engine cowling and which, in the reverse thrust configuration, constitute scoop baffles that deflect exhaust air flow. A movable deflector baffle cooperates with each door such that, when the door is opened towards a thrust reversing direction, the baffle moves above an outer surface of the outer panel of the door in such a way that undesired interference between the exhaust flow moving through the door and the flow deflected by the outer surface of the door is minimized or avoided.
