ABSTRACT:
A self-closing pivoting door thrust reverser is disclosed in which the linkage interconnecting the thrust reverser door and the thrust reverser panel redirects the forces acting on the thrust reverser door by the thrust reverser panel so as to provide a positive, self-closing force on the thrust reverser door urging it toward, or maintaining it in, the forward thrust position. The door actuator, the thrust reverser door and the thrust reverser panel are all pivotally connected to a link member at three spaced apart pivot points. When in the forward thrust positions, the line of force acting on the thrust reverser door by the thrust reverser panel passes through, or lies radially inwardly of the pivot axis of the thrust reverser door. Thus, the force of pressurized gases acting on the inner surface of the thrust reverser panel will urge the assembly toward its forward thrust position.
