Claim 6:
7. A method for deploying a thrust reverser, comprising:
translating a carrier along a track;
transferring a first load between the carrier and a first reverser door in response to the carrier translating along the track;
rotating the first reverser door between a closed position and an open position in response to the carrier translating along the track;
transferring a second load between the carrier and a deployable fairing in response to the carrier translating along the track;
rotating the deployable fairing between a stowed position and a deployed position in response to the carrier translating along the track;
transferring a third load between the carrier and a second reverser door positioned opposite to the first reverser door with respect to a central axis in response to the carrier translating along the track; and
rotating the second reverser door between a closed position and an open position in response to the carrier translating along the track,
wherein the deployable fairing is disposed circumferentially between the first reverser door and the second reverser door, and
wherein the deployable fairing is substantially flush with the first reverser door and the second reverser door when the deploying fairing is in the stowed position and the first reverser door and the second reverser door are in their respective closed positions.
