ABSTRACT:
A lock for an engine thrust reverser comprises a locking member, for example, in the shape of a fork, arranged to engage a locking pin of a thrust reversing member. In use, the thrust reversing member is held in an inoperative position by other locks such that no force is exerted on the locking member by the thrust reversing member. If the other locks fail, the thrust reversing member pushes against the locking member. Under such conditions the lock cannot be unlocked and consequently the thrust reversing member is prevented from being deployed.
