Abstract:
A nacelle is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This nacelle includes a stationary support, a fanlet, a thrust reverser sleeve and an interface assembly providing an interface between the stationary support, the fanlet and the thrust reverser sleeve where the fanlet and the thrust reverser sleeve are respectively in stowed positions. The stationary support extends circumferentially about an axial centerline. The fanlet includes an inlet structure and a fan cowl. The fanlet is configured to translate axially along the centerline. The thrust reverser sleeve is configured to translate axially along the centerline. The interface assembly includes a pair of interlocking components, wherein a first of the interlocking components is mounted to the fanlet at the aft end of the fanlet.
