ABSTRACT:
An aircraft having a propulsive power unit supported in a fuselage mounted configuration and including an engine and a nacelle structure housing the engine. The nacelle structure is provided with upper and lower displaceable nacelle portions, such as thrust reverser cowls and fan cowl doors which are displaceable between closed dispositions which they occupy during operational conditions of the aircraft and open dispositions which they take up to provide access to engine components. The upper and lower nacelle portions are so mounted as to be displaceable to their open and closed dispositions in movements in which one is assisted by gravitational force and the other is displaced against gravitational force. A force transfer mechanism is provided for transfer during opening and closing movements of the nacelle portions of gravitational force assisting displacement of one of the nacelle portions to assist in displacement of the other nacelle portion being displaced against gravitational force.
