ABSTRACT:
An aircraft engine cowling interlock system (10) for sequencing the closure of adjacent overlapping cowlings. The cowling interlock system (10) includes a telescoping rod (22) that holds an overlapping thrust reverser cowling (12) in an open position; a locking mechanism (24) that locks the telescoping rod (22) and the thrust reverser cowling (12) in the open position; and a connecting assembly (26) that connects the locking mechanism (24) to an overlapped core cowling (14), such that the locking mechanism (24) locks the telescoping rod (22) in the open position when the core cowling (14) is in an open postion to prevent closure of the thrust reverser cowling (12), and the locking mechanism (24) unlocks the telescoping rod (22) when the core cowling (14) is in a closed position to allow closure of the thrust reverser cowling (12).
