  • Patent number: 10914267
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a thrust reverser system for a turbojet engine and a method for unlocking a thrust reverser system. The thrust reverser system includes a movable cowl mounted on a nacelle of the turbojet engine that is displaceable between a closed position in which the thrust reverser system is inactivated and an open position in which the thrust reverser system is activated. The thrust reverser system includes a locking system having a first and second locking element mounted on the movable cowl and a fixed structure. The first and second locking elements lock and unlock relative to each other to lock the movable cowl on the fixed structure in the closed position. The locking system is shaped so that a controlled displacement of the movable cowl from its closed position to a reclosed position triggers unlocking of the first and second locking elements.

  • Patent number: 9752533
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a locking system includes N locks, each lock being monitored by two locking sensors, each locking sensor being capable of indicating if the lock that it monitors is in a locked or unlocked state, each locking sensor being able to be in a valid or invalid status, the method including determining the state of the locking system on the basis of the state of the locks detected by the locking sensors; determining a reliability level associated with the state of the locking system on the basis of the number of valid locking sensors monitoring the locks that are in the same state as the locking system.
