Claim:
1. An aircraft propulsion system comprising: first and second propulsors mounted at an aft portion of a fuselage, wherein the first propulsor comprises a first engine core disposed along a first engine axis and driving a first fan and a first bypass passage disposed along a first propulsor axis and the second propulsor comprises a second engine core disposed along a second engine axis and driving a second fan and a second bypass passage disposed along a second propulsor axis, wherein the first engine axis and the second engine axis are disposed at an angle relative to a corresponding one of the first propulsor axis and the second propulsor axis; and first and second thrust reversers mounted proximate to corresponding first and second propulsors, wherein each of the first and second thrust reversers include respective thrust reverser doors, the thrust reverser doors rotatable to a deployed position such that longitudinal centerlines along the thrust reverser doors converge below the thrust reversers thereby reducing lift producible by redirected thrust.
