Claim 11:
12. A method for deploying a thrust reverser, comprising:
rotating a deployable fairing about a first axis with respect to a frame; and
rotating a first reverser door with respect to the frame from a stowed position to a deployed position about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis, wherein the deployable fairing is configured to move away from a central axis of the thrust reverser to provide clearance for the first reverser door to rotate into a deployed position; wherein rotating the deployable fairing with respect to the frame comprises rotating the deployable fairing with respect to the frame from a first position, wherein the deployable fairing extends along a peripheral edge of the first reverser door, to a second position, wherein an aft edge of the deployable fairing moves away from the central axis of the thrust reverser to provide clearance for the first reverser door to rotate to the deployed position, and the peripheral edge extends between and to a forward edge of the first reverser door and an aft edge of the first reverser door.
