Abstract:
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a turbofan engine assembly includes a engine, a nacelle defining a generally forward-to-aft bypass air flow path, a thrust reverser comprising a first movable element, movable to and from a reversing position where at least a portion of the bypass air flow is reversed, a hydraulic actuator coupled to the first movable element to move the first movable element into and out of the reversing position, and a second moveable element, configured to move in synchronicity with the first moveable element, a first hydraulic valve operable to control a flow of hydraulic fluid for actuation of the hydraulic actuator, a second hydraulic valve operably coupled to the second moveable element and moveable between a restricted condition wherein the flow of hydraulic fluid is restricted, and a permit condition wherein the flow of hydraulic fluid is permitted.
