SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING OF THRUST REVERSER TO PYLON

摘要

A propulsion system of an aircraft is described herein. In this system, the inner fixed structure (IFS) and the outer sleeve may be separately coupled to the pylon. For instance, the inner fixed structure and the outer sleeve may be hinged separately and attached to different locations of the pylon. Thus, portions of the pylon are exposed to the fan duct air flow path.

1. A propulsion system of an aircraft comprising:
a pylon adapted to be mounted to an aircraft; an inner fixed structure adapted to surround an engine core, the inner fixed structure mounted via at least a first hinge to the pylon; and an outer sleeve, the outer sleeve mounted via at least a second hinge to the pylon; and wherein the inner fixed structure and the outer sleeve help define a bypass air duct for bypass air from a fan.
