1. An outlet cowling of a jet engine thrust reverser of a nacelle, the nacelle configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing via a pylon, the wing comprising a leading edge slat, the outlet cowling having a circumference measured from an outboard top edge to an inboard top edge, the outlet cowling comprising:
a sliding portion beginning at the inboard top edge and having a circumference that is less than the circumference of the outlet cowling, the sliding portion being configured to move longitudinally between a forward thrust position adjacent to a nacelle inlet cowling and a reverse thrust position aft of the forward thrust position; and at least one stationary portion extending between the outboard top edge and an edge of the sliding portion, the at least one stationary portion remaining in a stationary position when the sliding portion moves between the forward thrust position and the reverse thrust position, wherein the at least one stationary portion is located aft of a transverse split disposed between the nacelle inlet cowling and the outlet cowling, wherein the transverse split divides the nacelle inlet cowling and the at least one stationary portion, such that the at least one stationary portion is separate from the nacelle inlet cowling,
wherein the leading edge slat is configured to move between a stowed position and a deployed position, andwherein the at least one stationary portion occupies a gap between the outer sliding portion and the pylon, and wherein the gap prevents interference between the outer sliding portion and the leading edge slat upon movement of the outer sliding portion. |
