A thrust reverser of a propulsion system nacelle is provided. The thrust reverser includes a fixed structure, a translating structure, and an aerodynamic feature. The fixed structure includes an annular wall that partially defines an annular bypass airstream duct. The fixed structure is bifurcated into left and right side sections. The annular wall extends between upper and lower bifurcation walls of the left side section, and extends between upper and lower bifurcation walls of the right side section. The translating structure is moveable relative to the fixed structure, between a stowed position and a deployed position. The aerodynamic feature that includes a flange disposed relative to an aft end portion of one of the lower bifurcation walls. The flange aids in preventing aerodynamic drag.
A thrust reverser of a propulsion system nacelle, the thrust reverser comprising:
An aerodynamic feature for use in a thrust reverser of a propulsion system nacelle, the thrust reverser including a fixed structure and a translating structure that is moveable relative to the fixed structure, the fixed structure including an annular wall that partially defines an annular bypass airstream duct, the fixed structure being bifurcated into left and right side sections, the annular wall extending between upper and lower bifurcation walls of the left side section, and between upper and lower bifurcation walls of the right side section;
