Turbojet engine thrust reverser having dual pivoting doors

A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine having a generally annular cowling having an inner cowling surface forming an outer boundary of a gas flow duct and an outer cowling surface, the cowling having at least one reverse thrust opening, the thrust reverser comprising:

• a) a first thrust reverser door pivotally attached to the cowling so as to be movable between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position, the first thrust reverser door having a first inner surface forming a portion of the outer boundary of the gas flow duct when the first thrust reverser door is in the forward thrust position, a first outer surface and a rear portion which extends into the gas flow duct when the first thrust reverser door is in the reverse thrust position so as to direct at least a portion of gasses passing through the gas flow duct outwardly through the at least one reverse thrust opening;
• and,
• b) a second thrust reverser door pivotally connected to the cowling so as to be movable between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position, the second thrust reverser door having a second outer surface located such that the second outer surface and the first inner surface form opposite boundaries of a passage directing gasses in a reverse thrust direction when the first and second thrust reverser doors are in their reverse thrust positions, and a second inner surface to direct air flowing over the outer cowling surface away from contact with the reverse thrust gas flow.
