An aircraft nacelle is disclosed and includes a first fan cowl and a second fan cowl. An opening is defined in an exterior surface of the first fan cowl. The aircraft nacelle also includes a blade, a latch mechanism, an arm, and a linkage assembly operably connecting the arm to the blade. The blade is moveable along between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch mechanism is moveable between a latched position an unlatched position where a portion of the latch mechanism obstructs a path of movement of the blade. The arm is unable to move from an extended position where a portion of the arm extends through the opening in the exterior surface of the aircraft nacelle into a retracted position within an interior volume of the aircraft nacelle when the blade is in the deployed position and the latch mechanism is in the unlatched position.

Provided is an aircraft propulsor thrust reverser with a fastening system. The fastening system may include a male spool and a female spool configured to be threaded into the male spool. The male spool and the female spool may be coupled to a honeycomb structure and may evenly distribute force to the honeycomb structure to prevent plastic deformation of a honeycomb core of the honeycomb structure.
