Patent 8051639 was granted and assigned to THE NORDAM GROUP LLC on November, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The thrust reverser is used with an aircraft gas turbine engine and includes upper and lower doors pivotable between a stowed position and a deployed position. When deployed, the doors redirect a portion of the efflux to generate a nose-down pitching moment on an aircraft to improve handling during thrust reversing on a runway.
