Below Wing Reverse Core Gas Turbine Engine With Thrust Reverser

摘要

A core engine includes a compressor section, a combustor and a turbine section, with the turbine section being closest to a fan, the combustor section and then the compressor section being positioned further away from the fan relative to the turbine section. A downstream end of a nozzle has at least one pivoting shell and an actuator pivots the shell between a stowed position and a deployed position. A mount bracket is mounted at one circumferential location of the engine. The shell moves in a direction having at least a component perpendicular to a vertical direction defined perpendicular to a top surface of the mount bracket.

1. A gas turbine engine comprising:
an outer housing defining a nozzle at a downstream end of the engine; a fan mounted at an upstream end of the engine, the fan rotating on a first axis, and the nozzle centered on the first axis; a core engine, including a compressor section, a combustor and a turbine section, with the turbine section being closest to the fan, the combustor section and then the compressor section being positioned further away from the fan relative to the turbine section; the nozzle having at least one pivoting shell and an actuator to pivot the at least one shell between a stowed position and a deployed position in which the at least one shell pivots outwardly to provide a thrust reverser; and a mount bracket mounted at one circumferential location of the engine, and defining a vertically upper location, and the at least one shell moving in a direction having at least a component perpendicular to a vertical direction defined perpendicular to a top surface of the mount bracket.
