Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbofan type turbojet engine assembly with a cowling having an inner cowling surface forming an outer boundary of a gas flow duct, and an outer cowling surface spaced from the inner cowling surface, the inner and outer cowling surfaces joining at a rearmost edge of the cowling, the thrust reverser having a thrust reverser baffle with an outer baffle surface and an inner baffle surface, a forward linkrod pivotally connected to a forward portion of a thrust reverser baffle and to the cowling, and a rear linkrod pivotally connected to the thrust reverser baffle and to the cowling.

Abstract: An electric control system is disclosed for a turbojet engine thrust reverser having at least one movable component movable between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position, the control system having at least one electromechanical drive device mechanically connected to the moveable component such that actuation of the electromechanical drive device moves the component between the forward and reverse thrust positions, and an electronic control unit electrically connected to the electromechanical drive device and to a turbojet engine control system to transmit actuation signals to the electromechanical drive device to control the movement of the component between the forward and reverse thrust positions. The electronic control system preferably also has at least one electrically actuated locking device to hold the movable component in the forward thrust position.

Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for an aircraft turbojet engine having a cowling with an inner surface forming an outer boundary of a gas flow duct, the cowling having at least one reverse thrust opening and a thrust reverser door pivotally attached to the cowling so as to move between a forward thrust position, wherein the thrust reverser door closes the at least one reverse thrust opening and a reverse thrust position, wherein a forward portion of the thrust reverser door moves outwardly from the cowing and a rear portion of the door moves inwardly into the gas flow duct so as to redirect a first portion of the gases flowing through the gas flow duct through the reverse thrust opening.

Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbojet engine having a cowling forming an outer boundary of a gas flow duct through which pressurized gases flow, the cowling having a reverse thrust opening, in which the thrust reverser comprises a thrust reverser door assembly pivotally attached to the cowling so as to be movable between a forward thrust position in which the thrust reverser door assembly covers the reverse thrust opening through the cowling, and a reverse thrust position in which the thrust reverser door assembly directs at least a portion of the gases flowing through the gas flow duct through the reverse thrust cowling opening.

Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbojet engine having a cowling forming an outer boundary for a gas flow duct, the cowling having at least one reverse thrust opening communicating with the gas flow duct. The thrust reverser includes a thrust reverser door pivotally attached to the cowling so as to move between a forward thrust position, in which the reverse thrust opening is uncovered and the thrust reverser door covers the reverse thrust opening, and a reverse thrust position in which the thrust reverser door directs at least a portion of the gas flow from the duct through the reverse thrust opening. A panel is incorporated into the thrust reverser such that it is movable between a first position in which an inner surface of the panel forms a portion of the outer boundary of the gas flow duct and a second position wherein the entire panel is located within the gas flow duct.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thrust reverser for a turbojet engine having a cowling bounding a flow duct through which gases flow from the front of the cowling towards a rear of the cowling, the cowling having at least one reverse thrust opening communicating with the gas flow duct. The thrust reverser has a thrust reverser door pivotally mounted on the cowling so as to be movable between a forward and a thrust position, wherein the thrust reverser door covers the reverse thrust opening, and a reverse thrust position wherein the thrust reverser door uncovers the reverse thrust opening and directs at least a portion of the gases flowing through the gas flow duct outwardly through the reverse thrust opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thrust reverser for a turbojet engine having at least one thrust reverser door pivotally attached to a cowling so as to pivot about a first pivot axis between a forward thrust position, wherein the thrust reverser door closes a thrust reverse opening in the cowling, and a reverse thrust position in which the thrust reverse opening is opened. The thrust reverser door moves from the forward thrust position to the reverse thrust position about its pivot axis in a first pivot direction. The invention also includes a thrust reverser panel pivotally attached to the cowling so as to pivot about a second pivot axis between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position. In pivoting from the forward thrust position to the reverse thrust position, the thrust reverser panel pivots in a second direction about its axis, the pivoting direction of the thrust reverser panel being opposite to the pivoting direction of the thrust reverser door.
