Abstract: A thrust reverser for a turbofan engine having a bypass air flowpath is provided. The thrust reverser includes a plurality of blocker doors pivotally attached to a structure, and disposed circumferentially around a bypass air flow path, each blocker door having a forward edge, and aft edge, and two lateral edges joining the forward and aft edges, the two lateral edges and the forward and aft edges defining a perimeter of each blocker door. The thrust reverser is operable to be disposed in a stowed configuration wherein the plurality of blocker doors do not impede air flowing within the bypass air flowpath, and in a deployed configuration wherein the plurality of blocker doors reside in and substantially block the bypass air flowpath. In the stowed configuration the lateral edges of adjacent blocker doors are contiguous to one another.
