摘要

A thrust reverser for a jet engine of a mobile platform. The thrust reverser includes a hinge beam (104) defining a first track (112) and a latch beam (104') defining a second track (112'). The thrust reverser also includes at least one cascade support ring (102) having an upper end portion (108) and a lower end portion (108'). A first fitting (106) is disposed at the upper end portion (108) of the cascade support ring (102). The first fitting (106) includes an engagement portion (110) slidably positioned within the first track (112). A second fitting (106') is disposed at the lower end portion (108') of the cascade support ring (102). The second fitting (106') includes an engagement portion (110') slidably positioned within the second track (112').
