  • Acoustic panel for thrust reversers
    Patent number: 11047308
    Abstract: An acoustic panel includes a base, a cantilevered portion, a gap, and a support member. The base has a surface defining a plurality of cavities configured to attenuate noise from an engine. The cantilevered portion extends from the base and is configured to be removably coupled with a portion of a transcowl. The gap is defined by the base and the cantilevered portion. The support member is coupled to the cantilevered portion and the base, and the supporting member is configured to support the cantilevered portion.
