Claim 0:
1. An interspatial blocker for a thrust reverser system of a turbofan engine, the interspatial blocker comprising:
a first flap configured to rotate from a first stored position to a first blocking position;
a second flap configured to rotate from a second stored position to a second blocking position; and
a leading-edge structure rotatably coupling the first flap to the second flap,
wherein the leading-edge structure is configured to be installed in a fan nacelle in a substantially radial orientation such that the first flap rotates in a first direction about a first axis extending in a substantially radial direction from the first stored position to the first blocking position, and such that the second flap rotates in a second direction about a second axis extending in the substantially radial direction from the second stored position to the second blocking position, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction, wherein the first axis and the second axis are colinear.
