  • Aircraft gas turbine comprising a thrust-reverser device with cascade elements and an integrated rack and pinion drive
    Patent number: 10012176
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aircraft gas turbine comprising a thrust-reverser device that is arranged at the rear area of an engine cowling and that has multiple cascade elements which are distributed at the circumference and which divert a stream, characterized in that the cascade elements are mounted in a displaceable manner, in that on both sides of each cascade element at least one gear rack is formed that can be displaced via a respective cog wheel which is coupled to a driving device, and in that each cascade element is connected to a rear area of the engine cowling via a coupling element for the purpose of displacing the engine cowling in the axial direction.
