Abstract: A turbofan engine having a thrust reverser having at least one movable control surface, movable to and from a reversing position where at least a portion of the bypass air flow is at least partially reversed, a thrust reverser actuation system having multiple actuators and a lockout mechanism movable between an inhibit condition, wherein movement of the multiple actuators is prevented, and a permit condition, wherein movement of the multiple actuators is permitted.

Abstract: In some aspects, an aircraft engine thrust reverser lock system includes a pin-capturing member. The pin-capturing member includes a body that is rotatable about an axis defined by a pivot extending through the body. The body includes an interior surface that defines a slot. The slot has an opening that is sized to receive a pin into the slot. One side of the slot includes a protruded sidewall surface that protrudes into the slot toward an another sidewall surface of the slot. The protruded sidewall surface defines an apex between the open and closed ends of the slot. Between the apex and the closed end of the slot, the protruded sidewall surface faces the rotational axis.

Abstract: Actuator assemblies with a casing having an elongated body defining an interior with a longitudinal axis and an open end providing access to the interior, a main piston having at least a portion slidably received within the interior through the open end for sliding axial movement relative to the longitudinal axis between a retracted position and an extended position and a lock segment mounted to a portion of the main piston such that sliding movement of the lock segment moves the lock segment radially, relative to the longitudinal axis, between a locked position and an unlocked position.
