Latest Patents
Fred H. Peters holds a patent for a thrust reverser door side fillers. This invention presents an improved target-type thrust reverser designed for use with aircraft jet engines. The thrust reverser features an upper door shaped like a segment of a hollow frusto-conical member, with both inner and outer surfaces. The design includes opposed longitudinal edges that taper towards each other, along with a forward and rearward semi-circular edge. The lower door mirrors this design. The mechanism employs a pair of linkage arms that pivotally support the doors, allowing them to transition between stowed and actuated positions. In the stowed position, the doors align with the exterior surface of the engine nacelle. When actuated, the doors extend rearward of the engine exhaust nozzle, creating a concave exhaust gas intercepting target that diverts exhaust gases to generate rearward thrust.
