Aspects are directed to a system associated with a thrust reverser of an aircraft, comprising: a blocker door and a fan case, where when the thrust reverser is stowed the blocker door is stowed at least in part radially outboard of the fan case. Aspects include a thrust reverser system comprising: a fixed structure, a translating sleeve configured to translate relative to the fixed structure, at least one blocker door pivotally mounted to the translating sleeve, and a rod coupled to the fixed structure and to the at least one blocker door, where during a first phase of thrust reverser deployment the blocker door translates with the translating sleeve when the translating sleeve is translating toward its deployed position and does not rotate, and during a second phase following the first phase, the blocker door pivots relative to the translating sleeve from a stowed position to a deployed position.
