    Abstract: A thrust reverser system for a gas turbine engine includes at least one hinge coupled to the thrust reverser system so as to be adjacent to at least one opening defined in the thrust reverser system. The thrust reverser system includes at least one body coupled to the at least one hinge. The at least one body has a first body end and an opposing second body end. The body pivotally coupled to the hinge such that a portion of the body is positionable within the at least one opening and the body includes at least one counterweight at the first body end or the second body end. The body is positioned within the at least one opening based on an operating condition of the gas turbine engine.

    Abstract: A heat resistant washer for a heat resistant fastening system and a heat resistant fastening system is provided. The heat resistant washer includes a fire retardant material, and a housing that includes a base and a flange, with a throughbore defined through the base to receive a fastener. The housing defines a cavity adjacent to the throughbore and at least one guide. The fire retardant material is disposed within the cavity and the at least one guide directs the fire retardant material in an active state out of the cavity.

    Abstract: A coupling apparatus for use in sealingly connecting a first fluid flow path to a second fluid flow path. The coupling apparatus includes a rigid fluid flow channel having a first end and a second end, wherein the fluid flow channel is substantially rigid in an axial direction and a radial direction, a first sealing terminus that is rigidly connected to the first end and that is configured for sealing with the first fluid flow path, and a second sealing terminus that is slidingly disposed about the second end such that the second sealing terminus is configured for relative movement with respect to the second end, and wherein the second sealing terminus is further configured for sealing with the second fluid flow path. The coupling apparatus further includes a flexible coupler connected to both the first sealing terminus and the second sealing terminus and surrounding the fluid flow channel, wherein the coupler is relatively more flexible in the axial direction and the radial direction as compared to the fluid flow channel.

    Abstract: A system and method is provided for coupling a nacelle inlet assembly to an engine fan housing structure that provides adequate clearance and access for removing a blisk fan from a turbofan engine. This is accomplished by utilizing a nacelle inlet forward compartment, referred to herein as the “D-lip”and an acoustic liner that are inseparable and removable as an integral unit, providing sufficient clearance for removable of the blisk fan. The nacelle inlet assembly may be slidably coupled to the engine fan housing structure, minimizing assembly interfaces and therefore overall aircraft engine weight.
