Abstract:
A nacelle for an aircraft propulsion system includes a first nacelle door, a second nacelle door and a plurality of latch assemblies. Each of the nacelle doors extends along and partially about a centerline. The latch assemblies are arranged along the centerline in an array, and configured to secure the nacelle doors together. A first of the latch assemblies includes a first latch mechanism and a first pin that pivotally mounts the first latch mechanism. A second of the latch assemblies includes a second latch mechanism and a second pin that pivotally mounts the second latch mechanism. An axis of the second pin is non-parallel with an axis of the first pin. The latch assemblies may be substantially identical to one another given the arrangement of the latch assemblies with the nacelle doors.
