THRUST REVERSER ASSEMBLY

A thrust reverser assembly for a gas turbine engine including a core engine, a nacelle surrounding at least a portion of the core engine defining a bypass duct between the nacelle and the core engine where an outer door movable between a stowed position and a deployed position extends outwards from the nacelle and a blocker door movable between a stowed position and an deployed position extends into an airflow conduit defined by the bypass duct to deflect air outwards.

Thrust reverser fan ramp with blocker door pocket
09765729 · 2017-09-19 · ·

A fan ramp for use in a thrust reverser portion of a nacelle is disclosed. The nacelle is included in a propulsion system. The fan ramp extends circumferentially about an axial fan ramp centerline. The fan ramp includes a forward edge, an aft edge, and a first blocker door pocket. The forward edge is disposed proximate an aft end of a fan case. The fan case at least partially surrounds a fan section of a gas turbine engine. The aft edge is disposed proximate a forward end of an array of cascades. The array of cascades is operable to permit a bypass airstream to pass there through during a thrust reversing operation. The first blocker door pocket is operable to receive at least a portion of a forward edge of a first blocker door included in the nacelle.

Thrust reverser with movable cascades for an aircraft propulsion unit and related mounting and dismounting methods
11199158 · 2021-12-14 · ·

An aircraft propulsion assembly with an engine provided with a cascade-type thrust reverser includes cascades of mobile deflection vanes connected to cascade rails with a slideway connection that allows the cascades of vanes a translational movement between a cruising-flight position and a reverse-thrust position. The thrust reverser allows the cascade rails to be positioned in a forward position, in which the engine, the cascade rails and the deflection vanes can be removed from the propulsion assembly without the cascade rails colliding with the mobile cowl of the reverser. Dismantling and assembly or reassembly methods allow maintenance operations to be carried out on the engine thus dismantled.
