    摘要: An inner cowl arrangement for a gas turbine engine includes a first hinge and a second hinge pivotally connecting a first cowl member and a second cowl member, respectively, to a mounting structure. The inner cowl arrangement further includes a latch detachably securing the first and second cowl members. At least one of the first hinge, the second hinge, and the latch includes a pressure relief component that deforms or breaks when an applied load on the pressure relief component due to a pressure within an engine core is greater a normal operating load, causing at least one of the first cowl member and the second cowl member to move relative to the engine core, and forming an opening.
