Patent number: 10436118Abstract: A panel is provided for attenuating noise. This panel includes a perforated first skin, a second skin, an array of corrugations, a first channel, a second channel, a plurality of first sidewalls and a plurality of second sidewalls. The array of corrugations includes a first corrugation and a second corrugation. Each of the corrugations includes a baffle and a septum. The first channel is formed by the baffle of the first corrugation, the septum of the first corrugation and the first skin. The second channel is formed by the baffle of the second corrugation, the septum of the first corrugation and the second skin. The first sidewalls divide the first channel into a plurality of first chambers. The second sidewalls divide the second channel into a plurality of second chambers. A first of the second chambers is fluidly coupled with a subset of the first chambers through perforations in the septum of the first corrugation.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Rohr, Inc.Inventors: Luby Weaver, Charles M. Biset, Jeffrey Woods, David M. Adams

Patent number: 9534562Abstract: A thrust reverser system includes a translating cascade, a blocker door, and a drive link. The drive link may be pivotably coupled to the translating cascade and the blocker door. The translating cascade may be coupled to a translating sleeve of a nacelle. The drive link may cause the blocker door to deploy in response to the translating cascade moving in an aft direction. The blocker door may be pivotably coupled to a fixed aft portion of the nacelle.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: ROHR, INC.Inventor: Charles M. Biset
