I agree the hushkit fitted to the Delta aircraft is a much tidier example. Any ideas as to the manufacturer of the kits?

The one fitted to NQC is (or was) made by Nordam, not sure about the Delta ones. See here..


Also here is an explanation as to why the thrust reversers are on a 35 degree angle:

QUOTE

The doors are set 35 degrees away from the vertical to allow the exhaust to be deflected inboard and over the wings and outboard and under the wings. This ensures that exhaust and debris is not blown into the wheel-well, nor is it blown directly downwards which would lift the weight off the wheels or be re-ingested.[/quote]
