Apparatus for the synchronized displacement of two thrust reversers for two jet engines of an airplane, comprising first and second systems for displacing respective thrust reversers. Each system includes a compressed air motor, a valve controlling the operation of the motor by controlling the flow of compressed air thereto, and an input system for operating each valve to control the displacement of the respective motor. A synchronizing system synchronizes the displacement of the thrust reversers by measuring displacement in the first and second systems at respective corresponding locations and controlling the operation of the first and second motors such that the displacements of the thrust reversers by the respective motors are equalized.
Apparatus for the synchronized displacement of two thrust reversers for two jet engines of an airplane, comprising first and second system means for displacing respective thrust reversers, each system means including a compressed air motor means;
Apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said displacement measuring means comprises counter means responsive to the displacement output of each said motor means, said comparing means comprising error means coupled to the counter means of the respective motor means for comparing the outputs thereof and for sending a signal to said electronic means when said outputs are unequal in order for said electronic control means to control said motor means to equalize said outputs.
