Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a thrust reverser system of an aircraft comprising: a translating cascade sleeve, a blocker door, and a kinematic mechanism configured to actuate the blocker door, the kinematic mechanism comprising: a first link coupled to the translating cascade sleeve, a second link coupled to the first link and a fixed structure, and a third link coupled to the first link and the blocker door.
Claims18
A thrust reverser system of an aircraft comprising:
- a fixed structure;
- a translating cascade sleeve configured to translate relative to the fixed structure;
- a blocker door;
- and
- a kinematic mechanism configured to actuate the blocker door, the kinematic mechanism comprising:
- an end of a first link pivotally attached to the translating cascade sleeve;
- a first end of a second link directly pivotally attached to a first end of the first link, and a second end of the second link pivotally attached to the fixed structure;
- and
- a first end of a third link directly pivotally attached to the first link, and a second end of the third link pivotally attached to the blocker door;
- a primary sleeve configured to conceal the blocker door with respect to a bypass duct airflow path when the thrust reverser system is in a stowed state, and wherein the primary sleeve is configured to translate relative to the translating cascade sleeve.
