Claims20
A thrust reverser comprising:
- a track beam;
- and
- a noise suppressing structure coupled to the track beam, wherein the noise suppressing structure comprises a close out on one edge.
A thrust reverser track beam comprising:
- an elongate member having at least one track, the at least one track configured to receive a housing capable of translating forward an aft along the elongate member;
- a noise suppressing structure coupled to the elongate member, the noise suppressing structure forming an entire airflow surface of the thrust reverser track beam within a bypass air duct;
- and
- a cascade array configured to direct airflow during a reverse thrust mode, the housing translating forward to cover the cascade array in a stowed configuration and translating aft to expose the cascade array in a deployed configuration.
