A gas turbine engine includes an engine core outer casing and a fan nacelle spaced radially outwardly relative to the engine core outer casing to define a bypass duct. A plurality of drag links is used to pivot blocker doors into a flow blocking position in the bypass duct when a thrust reverser is deployed. The plurality of drag links is located within the bypass duct in an area of non-uniform flow defined by a plurality of local airflow angles. Each drag link is individually configured to align with one of the local flow angles.
