Abstract: A locking system to secure a trans cowl to a frame of a thrust reverser on an engine of an aircraft. The locking system includes an arm that is connected to the trans cowl with the arm having a receptacle. A lock includes a body and a pin with the pin movable relative to the body and with the lock positionable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the pin is in an extended position relative to the body that extends into the receptacle to secure the trans cowl in a stowed position. In the unlocked position, the pin is in a retracted position relative to the body that is away from the arm to enable the trans cowl to move to a deployed position.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a jet engine and a telescopic tube assembly positioned on the jet engine. The telescopic tube assembly includes one end portion of the telescopic tube assembly which is associated with a thrust reverser translating sleeve of the jet engine and an opposing end portion of the telescopic tube assembly which is associated with a fixed portion of the of the jet engine. A jet engine includes a telescopic tube assembly positioned on the jet engine. The telescopic tube assembly includes one end portion of the telescopic tube assembly which is associated with a thrust reverser translating sleeve of a jet engine and an opposing end portion of the telescopic tube assembly which is associated with a fixed portion of the of the jet engine.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a locking system for an actuator device. The apparatus comprises a lock collar and a locking device. The lock collar shares a center axis with a piston having a first number of features that extend from the piston away from a center axis of the piston. The lock collar has a second number of features that extend towards the center axis. The locking device is configured to rotate the lock collar between a lock position in which the second number of features of the lock collar is engaged with the first number of features of the piston and an unlock position in which the second number of features of the lock collar is disengaged from the first number of features of the piston.
