INTEGRATED THRUST REVERSER ASSEMBLY

摘要

Assembly for supporting a gas turbine engine comprises a support member (14) including mounting sites for attachment to an associated aircraft. The support member includes integral slider tracks (78) disposed on opposed sidewalls for selective engagement with a translatable cowl. The translatable cowl (22) is translatable along the slider tracks to selectively cover and expose a cascade thrust- reversing structure (24). The cascade structure includes arcuate segments (24a) mounted in hinged relationship to the support member. Rearward translation of the translatable cowl (22) to a service position permits the cascade structure (24) to be opened for access to the core engine.
