Claims15
An aircraft turbojet engine nacelle comprising:
- a rear section without a lower bifurcation, wherein the rear section includes a thrust reverser system, the thrust reverser system including a movable cowl;
- and
- a guide system secured to the movable cowl and being translatable with the movable cowl, the guide system extending along a direction parallel to a moving direction of the movable cowl,
- wherein the guide system defines opposing ends along the movable direction, the guide system cooperating with at least one crosshead fixed relative to the nacelle, the guide system being movable relative to the at least one crosshead such that the at least one crosshead is located at one of the opposing ends of the guide system when the movable cowl is in a retracted position, and at the other one of the opposing ends of the guide system when the movable cowl is in a deployed position, and
- wherein the guide system and the at least one crosshead are disposed at a “6 o'clock” position,
- wherein the thrust reverser system includes thrust reverser cascades, wherein the guide system is disposed between an adjacent two of the thrust reverser cascades, wherein the guide system includes a plate body having longitudinal sides disposed side by side with the adjacent two of the thrust reverser cascades and a guide rail extending radially inward from the plate body, and wherein the at least one crosshead includes an elongated slot having an opening facing the guide rail for receiving the guide rail therein.
