THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM
A first cascade segment of a thrust reverser system has a first cascade segment flow area and is associated with a first lateral sector. A second cascade segment has a second cascade segment flow area and is associated with a second lateral sector. The second cascade segment flow area may be at least 1.2 times the first cascade segment flow area. The first lateral sector has a first leakage flow area and a first total flow area that is equal to a sum of at least the first cascade segment flow area and the first leakage flow area. The second lateral sector has a second leakage flow area and a second total flow area that is equal to a sum of at least the second cascade segment flow area and the second leakage flow area. The second total flow area may be within 10% of the first total flow area.

DRIVE SYSTEM FOR TRANSLATING STRUCTURE
A nacelle system having a translating structure is disclosed. In various embodiments, the nacelle system includes a fixed structure; a thrust reverser having a translating sleeve configured to translate relative to the fixed structure and in response to a first dual-circuit hydraulic system; and a variable area fan nozzle having a translating nozzle configured to translate relative to the translating sleeve and in response to a second dual-circuit hydraulic system.
TOOL FOR MANUFACTURING OPENWORK ELEMENTS SUCH AS CASCADES FOR AIRCRAFT NACELLES AND METHOD USING SUCH A TOOL
Tooling for manufacture of an apertured element made of a composite material includes first and second sole plates and tooling elements. Each sole plate is configured to be placed on either side of the apertured element to be manufactured. The tooling elements are placed between the first and second sole plates. The tooling elements include at least one core and peripheral bars. The core is configured to delimit a cell of the apertured element to be manufactured. The core is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates. The peripheral bars are placed on a periphery of the core and configured to delimit the apertured element to be manufactured. At least one peripheral bar is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates.
THRUST REVERSER WITH ANTI-BUCKLING ACTUATING SYSTEM
A thrust reverser for a turbojet aircraft nacelle includes a fixed structure, a movable structure and an actuator. The actuator extends along a main axis and is connected by a first connection to the fixed structure and by a second connection to the movable structure for the deployment of the movable structure between a direct jet position and a reverse jet position. The actuator is also connected to the fixed structure by a third connection arranged longitudinally between the first connection and the second connection. An axis of the third connection is radially eccentric from the main axis and the third connection allows a predetermined displacement of the actuator with respect to the fixed structure.
THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM WITH HIDDEN TURNING DOOR
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a thrust reverser system. The thrust reverser system includes a cavity, a sleeve and a turning door. The sleeve is configured to translate along a centerline between a sleeve stowed position and a sleeve deployed position. The turning door is configured to move between a turning door stowed position and a turning door deployed position. The turning door is disposed within the cavity when the sleeve is disposed in the sleeve stowed position. The turning door projects in a radial outward direction away from the sleeve and the centerline when the sleeve is in the sleeve deployed position.
