Thrust reverser actuation

A thrust reverser drive arrangement for use in driving a thrust reverser cowl for movement relative to first and second guide tracks, the drive arrangement comprising:

• a first actuator located, in use, close to the first guide track;
• and
• a second actuator located, in use, close to the second guide track,
• the first actuator and the second actuator being arranged to be driven axially in synchronism and at the same speed by a drive motor to drive the thrust reverser cowl for movement,
• wherein at least one of the first and second actuators is provided with a load limiter in a housing of the first actuator or the second actuator, the load limiter interposed between the housing and a rotary actuator member of that actuator at a location radially outward of an axially actuatable output member of that actuator in at least one position of that actuator, and operable to apply a braking load to limit the transmission of loads through that actuator in the event that that actuator is subject to a compressive loading greater than a predetermined level,
• the load limiter being operable to apply a braking load to that actuator to resist rotation thereof, thereby reacting applied torque to the housing of that actuator rather than increasing the axial compression of the output member.
