Abstract
A lock has a shaft coupled to a flexible shaft which synchronizes hydraulic actuators of a translating cowl thrust reverser. The shaft is provided with a rotary brake comprising axially movable rotating and fixed discs urged together by a spring. The rotating discs are rotationally fixed to an armature of a solenoid which, when actuated, releases the rotary brake to allow the shaft to rotate and the thrust reverser to be deployed or stowed.
