Abstract
A hinge arm for a thrust reverser door may be mounted to an exhaust nozzle using an aft mount. The mount includes a frame for attachment to the nozzle. A swing link has a first pin pivotally joined to the frame, and a second pin for pivotally joining the hinge arm to the link to permit both swinging and pivoting of the hinge arm from the frame. The aft mount thusly permits the reverser doors to be reliably stowed around the nozzle.
