  • Patent number: 10443542
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for locking the position of the flaps of a thrust reverser of a turbojet nacelle, said flaps being controlled by actuators, each one swinging about a tranverse pivot in order to partially close off the air stream so as to guide it forwards, further including locks for locking the flaps in an intermediate opening position, between the closed position and the open position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2019
    Assignee: AIRCELLE
    Inventors: Corentin Hue, Rodolphe Denis, Denis Guillois, Sarah Tissot
  • Patent number: 10001081
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a thrust reverser for an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle including at least one movable thrust reverser cowling, a means for locking the cowling, an outlet nozzle having a variable cross-section that is arranged in the downstream extension of said cowling and that is movable, and at least one actuator that includes an actuating rod capable of moving the variable nozzle and the movable cowling, remarkable in that the reverser is provided with a passive coupler.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150160100
    Abstract: A test device for testing an actuating system for a thrust reverser includes a test bench, an input device, controllers and several determination components. The thrust reverser includes actuating cylinders, and the test bench includes a test structure which has counter-thrust cylinders connected to the actuating cylinders to be tested. Input parameters corresponding to external forces could be entered by the input device, and a first determination component determines a digital model of a movable structure of the thrust reverser. In addition, a second determination component determines force to be exerted by the counter-thrust cylinders by using the digital model and the input parameters. A third determination component determines a control set-point applied to the counter-thrust cylinders, and first and second controllers apply control set-points to counter-thrust and actuating cylinders, respectively.
