A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine is disclosed having a movable component, such as a thrust reverser door, operatively associated with an engine housing, and vanes formed on the upstream edge portion of the movable component and extending inwardly from an interior surface. The vanes, which extend in a direction generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the engine, are located in an array which extends across the upstream edge portion of the movable component from one side to the other. The vanes each may be generally triangular in configuration and have one side attached to the inner surface of the movable component and another side attached to a gas flow deflector extending laterally across the front edge of the movable component.

A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine assembly, having a longitudinal axis, mounted on an aircraft, the turbojet engine assembly having a housing defining a gas flow duct adapted to allow gases to flow therethrough in an upstream to downstream direction, the thrust reverser comprising: a) a movable thrust reversing door having an upstream edge portion and opposite lateral sides, the thrust reversing door pivotally attached to the turbojet engine housing so as to be movable between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position wherein the movable thrust reversing door redirects at least a portion of the gases in the gas flow duct in a reverse thrust direction; wherein the thrust reversing door comprises: i) an outer panel defining the upstream edge portion; and ii) an inner panel having a front edge portion which is movable toward the outer panel as the thrust reversing door moves to its reverse thrust position; b) a gas flow deflector extending from the upstream edge portion of the thrust reversing door; and c) a plurality of spaced apart vanes arranged in an array extending between the opposite lateral sides of the thrust reversing door adjacent to the upstream edge portion of the thrust reversing door and extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis so as to direct the reverse thrust gases in a desired direction, wherein the vanes each have a generally triangular configuration with a first side affixed to the thrust reverser door and a second side affixed to the gas flow detector.
