  • Mechanism for indicating position of a latch mechanism for an aircraft nacelle
    Patent number: 11142326
    Abstract: An aircraft nacelle is disclosed and includes a first fan cowl and a second fan cowl. An opening is defined in an exterior surface of the first fan cowl. The aircraft nacelle also includes a blade, a latch mechanism, an arm, and a linkage assembly operably connecting the arm to the blade. The blade is moveable along between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch mechanism is moveable between a latched position an unlatched position where a portion of the latch mechanism obstructs a path of movement of the blade. The arm is unable to move from an extended position where a portion of the arm extends through the opening in the exterior surface of the aircraft nacelle into a retracted position within an interior volume of the aircraft nacelle when the blade is in the deployed position and the latch mechanism is in the unlatched position.
