Thrust reverser system with hidden blocker doors

An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system with an axial centerline, comprising:

• a fan case;
• a fan cowl covering the fan case, wherein a forward cavity is radially between the fan case and the fan cowl;
• and
• a thrust reverser system including a sleeve, a cascade structure, a blocker door and a linkage;
• the sleeve configured to translate axially along the centerline and relative to the fan cowl between a forward stowed position and an aft deployed position;
• and
• the cascade structure, the blocker door and the linkage at least partially within the forward cavity when the sleeve is in the forward stowed position;
• the cascade structure configured to move axially with the sleeve as the sleeve translates axially from the forward stowed position to the aft deployed position;
• and
• the linkage extending between and pivotally attached to the cascade structure and the blocker door;
• the blocker door configured to move axially out of the forward cavity as the sleeve translates axially from the forward stowed position to an intermediate position;
• a forward end of the blocker door configured to swing radially inward into a bypass gas path of the aircraft propulsion system as the sleeve axially translates from the intermediate position to the aft deployed position;
• the thrust reverser system further including a door carrier arranged with the sleeve;
• the blocker door pivotally attached to the door carrier and extending between the linkage and the door carrier;
• and
• the door carrier configured to move axially with the sleeve as the sleeve translates axially from the forward stowed position to about the intermediate position, and the door carrier configured to be stationary as the sleeve translates axially from about the intermediate position to the aft deployed position.
