Abstract
An integrated thrust reverser and variable area fan nozzle actuator includes a ballscrew shaft having a first ballnut and a second ballnut. The second ballnut is fastened to a first translatable object. A bearing is affixed to the ballscrew shaft between the first ballnut and the second ballnut. A second translatable object is coupled to the bearing. A drive mechanism is operably coupled to the first ballnut for rotation and a locking mechanism selectively couples the ballscrew shaft to the first ballnut.
