Abstract
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a target-type thrust reverser and a tubular trailing edge body. The target-type thrust reverser includes a plurality of thrust reverser doors. Each of the thrust reverser doors is configured to pivot between a stowed position to a deployed position. The tubular trailing edge body is configured to at least partially form a gas path nozzle for the aircraft propulsion system. The tubular trailing edge body is configured to be displaced when the thrust reverser doors pivot from the stowed position to the deployed position.

An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system, comprising:
- a target-type thrust reverser comprising a plurality of thrust reverser doors, each of the thrust reverser doors configured to pivot between a stowed position to a deployed position;
- and
- a tubular trailing edge body configured to at least partially form a gas path nozzle for the aircraft propulsion system, the tubular trailing edge body configured to be displaced when the thrust reverser doors pivot from the stowed position to the deployed position.
An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system, comprising:
- a fixed structure extending axially along and circumferentially about an axial centerline;
- a first thrust reverser door pivotally attached to the fixed structure by a first hinge;
- a second thrust reverser door pivotally attached to the fixed structure by a second hinge;
- a trailing edge body configured to at least partially form a gas path nozzle for the aircraft propulsion system, the trailing edge body pivotally attached to the second thrust reverser door by a third hinge;
- and
- a linkage coupling the trailing edge body to the first thrust reverser door, the linkage pivotally attached to the trailing edge body and the first thrust reverser door.
An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system, comprising:
- a thrust reverser comprising a plurality of thrust reverser doors, each of the thrust reverser doors configured to pivot between a stowed position and a deployed position;
- and
- a tubular trailing edge body configured to at least partially form a gas path nozzle for the aircraft propulsion system, the tubular trailing edge body configured to move from a first position to a second position as the thrust reverser doors pivot from the stowed position to the deployed position;
- wherein a centerline of the tubular trailing edge body is coaxial with an axial centerline of the aircraft propulsion system when the tubular trailing edge body is in the first position;
- and
- wherein the centerline is non-coaxial with the axial centerline when the tubular trailing edge body is in the second position.
