US Patent 10184426 Thrust reverser with forward positioned blocker doors

An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a thrust reverser cascade, a fan ramp fairing and a blocker door. The thrust reverser cascade extends along an axial centerline from a forward cascade end to an aft cascade end. The fan ramp fairing is disposed at the forward cascade end. The fan ramp fairing is configured with a fairing surface that provides a forward boundary for bypass air flowing into the thrust reverser cascade during a first mode of operation. The blocker door is configured to completely axially overlap the fairing surface during a second mode of operation.
