ABSTRACT:
A control mechanism for the thrust reverser of an aircraft comprises an open ended conduit, the open end of which operationally protrudes into the airflow over the surface of the aircraft. The airflow over the aircraft creates a partial vacuum within the conduit. A piston is translatable within a cylinder in accordance with the magnitude of the partial vacuum. The position of the piston within the cylinder determines whether the thrust reverser can or cannot be actuated, thereby preventing inadvertent in-flight thrust reverser actuation.
