FIELD: reversal of thrust of double-flow turbojet engines. SUBSTANCE: device includes swivel doors integrated into wall of engine nacelle when device is functioning in forwards thrust mode; when device is functioning in thrust reversal mode, they form obstruction for deflection of gas flow. Each front (in way of flow) part of swivel door is duplicated on its inner surface by front (in way of flow) panel, thus smoothing out gas flow when device is functioning in forward thrust mode. This front panel is kept along its one lateral side by means of longitudinal axle of rotation rigidly connected with fixed structure and is set in motion by means of leverage containing articulated joint on swivel door, articulated joint on fixed structure and articulated joint on front (in way of flow) panel so that this panel moves by lateral turn relative to above-mentioned axle of rotation. EFFECT: enhanced reliability and safety; reduced mass. 8 cl, 15 dwg
