A thrust reverser for a fan-type turbojet engine is disclosed for use in a turbojet engine structure having an engine housing defining a primary gas flow duct and a fan housing generally coaxially arranged about the jet engine housing and defining therebetween a generally annular secondary gas flow duct. The thrust reverser has at least one thrust reverser door attached to the fan housing by a forward linkrod pivotally attached to a forward portion of the thrust reverser door and pivotally attached to the fan housing, and a rear linkrod pivotally attached to a rear portion of the thrust reverser door and also pivotally attached to the engine housing. The linkrod attaching mechanism enables the thrust reverser door to be movable between a forward thrust position wherein the door outer surface is substantially flush with an outer surface of the fan housing and a reverse thrust position wherein the thrust reverser door redirects the gases flowing through the secondary gas flow duct to provide a reverse thrust.
