Summary:A thrust reverser for a long duct mixed flow fan jet engine having a nacelle formed by a fixed forward structure surrounding the fan, a rear fixed structure and a translatable inner and outer cowl therebetween, the nacelle surrounds the engine and forms a long by-pass duct therewith, a common actuator fixed to the translatable cowls to simultaneously displace them over the rear structure, blocker doors coupled to the inner translating cowls for deployment during thrust reversal into the by-pass duct into a blocking position to divert the airflow through the cascades placed into an opening uncovered when the translatable cowls are axially displaced.
