发明名称 System and method for captured inner fixed structure
摘要 A propulsion system of an aircraft includes an inner fixed structure (IFS) and the outer sleeve that may be separately coupled to the pylon. For instance, the inner fixed structure and the outer sleeve may move independently with respect to each other. A single latch of the latching system disclosed herein, may be configured to latch all 4 panels, (e.g. both halves of the IFS and both doors of the outer sleeve) together and/or in a closed and retained position.

主权项 1. A latch system configured for a thrust reverser assembly of an engine nacelle comprising: a first outer sleeve door and a second outer sleeve door each mounted for movement between an outer sleeve door open position and an outer sleeve door closed position, the first outer sleeve door comprising a first recess at a lower edge of the first outer sleeve door, the first recess comprising a first upper wall, a first lower wall, and a first side wall, and the second outer sleeve door comprising a second recess at a lower edge of the second outer sleeve door, the second recess comprising a second upper wall, a second lower wall, and a second side wall; and a first inner fixed structure half and a second inner fixed structure half each mounted for movement between an open position and a closed position, the first inner fixed structure half comprising a first flange at a lower edge of the first inner fixed structure half and the second inner fixed structure half comprising a second flange at a lower edge of the second inner fixed structure half, wherein the first inner fixed structure half and the second inner fixed structure half are configured for independent kinematic movement from the independent kinematic movement of the first outer sleeve door and the second outer sleeve door, and wherein in response to the first outer sleeve door and the second outer sleeve door being in a closed position, the first inner fixed structure half and the second inner fixed structure half are retained by contact between the flanges and the recesses such that kinematic movement between the open position and the closed position of the first inner fixed structure half and the second inner fixed structure half is prevented.
