A technique for increasing the utilization of thrust reversers on STOL aircraft is described. The technique involves asymmetric orientation of the reversed exhaust in such a manner as to avoid the problems of self-ingestion, even in the presence of a cross wind, and cross ingestion between adjacent engines. Experimental results of ingestion in a single nacelle inlet are discussed and flow visualization pictures are presented. An analytical model of ingestion is described and sample results are shown.
