    Abstract: A thrust reverser for an aerial vehicle is coupled to an engine associated with the aerial vehicle. The thrust reverser includes a housing configured to receive an exhaust flow. The housing is movable relative to the aerial vehicle between at least a first, stowed position and a second, deployed position. The housing includes at least one inner flange that defines a first curvature. The thrust reverser includes a pair of doors coupled to the housing. The pair of doors is movable between at least a first position and a second position based on a movement of the housing. Each door of the pair of doors includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. The trailing edge is downstream from the leading edge in a direction of the exhaust flow through the housing, and the leading edge has a second curvature that is substantially the same as the first curvature.

    Abstract: A primary lock system for a translating cowl thrust reverser system includes a primary lock having a housing, a lock, and a manual mechanism. The lock is disposed at least partially within, and is movable relative to, the housing and is movable between a lock position and an unlock position. The manual mechanism is coupled to the lock and is configured, in response to a manual input force supplied to the manual mechanism, to: selectively move from a first position to a second position, whereby the lock is selectively moved from the lock position to the unlock position, respectively, and selectively prevent movement of the lock out of the lock position.

    Abstract: A sound attenuating cell includes a first sound attenuating cavity defined between a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is opposite the second sidewall. The first sidewall includes a first undulating surface and the second sidewall includes a second undulating surface. A deflector is coupled to the first undulating surface. The deflector extends from the first undulating surface toward the second undulating surface. The first undulating surface is axially offset from the second undulating surface to define a tortuous path between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The first sound attenuating cavity has a first end and a second end. The first end is opposite the second end, and an inlet and an outlet of the first sound attenuating cavity is defined at the first end. The sound attenuating cell includes a second sound attenuating cavity nested within the first sound attenuating cavity.

    Abstract: An accessory system for a gas turbine engine having a driveshaft with an axis of rotation is provided. The accessory system includes a towershaft coupled to the driveshaft and driven by the driveshaft along a towershaft axis of rotation. The accessory system also includes a shaft including a first shaft bevel gear coupled to a towershaft bevel gear. The shaft is rotatable by the towershaft along a shaft axis of rotation. The shaft axis of rotation is transverse to the towershaft axis of rotation. The accessory system includes a first accessory drive shaft having a first accessory bevel gear driven by the shaft. The accessory system also includes a second accessory drive shaft having a second accessory bevel gear driven by the shaft. A first accessory axis of rotation and a second accessory axis of rotation are substantially transverse to the shaft axis of rotation.

    Abstract: An anti-icing system is provided for an inlet lip annularly extending about a nacelle of an aircraft engine assembly. The anti-icing system includes an interior wall structure at least partially forming an annular anti-icing chamber with the inlet lip and an annular shield with a first end coupled to the interior wall structure and a second end extending into the annular anti-icing chamber. The annular shield divides the annular anti-icing chamber into first and second chamber portions fluidly coupled together by a passage formed between the second end and the internal surface of the inlet lip. The anti-icing system further includes a nozzle at an inwardly radial position relative to the first end of the annular shield such that the heated air exits the nozzle into the first chamber portion in which the annular shield blocks direct impingement on the internal surface of the inlet lip.

    Abstract: A thrust reverser system capable of providing high efficiency within a tightly constrained nacelle is provided. The thrust reverser system provides a displaceable internal door pivotally mounted within a transcowl. The displaceable internal door is rotatable about a pivot axis that is positioned aft of a front edge of the transcowl when the transcowl is in a deployed position.

    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.
