The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, an engine assembly having a nacelle partially surrounding an engine, and a thrust reverser having a first element movable relative to the nacelle between a stowed and deployed position, a first hydraulic actuator configured to move the first element between the stowed and deployed position, the first hydraulic actuator being connected to a fluid source and a return reservoir, and a second element movable between a stowed and deployed position, a second hydraulic actuator configured to move the second element between the stowed and deployed position, the second hydraulic actuator being connected to the fluid source and the return reservoir, and a fluid control system having a servo valve operable to selectively route fluid between the fluid source, the first hydraulic actuator, and the return reservoir, and a controller configured to operate the servo valve.
An engine assembly, comprising:
A fluid control system configured to operate a first hydraulic actuator coupled to a first thrust-reversing element coupled to a nacelle of an engine assembly and a second hydraulic actuator coupled to a second thrust-reversing element coupled to the nacelle of the engine assembly, the fluid control system comprising:
