Abstract:
A thrust reverser system for a turbine engine includes a support structure, a transcowl, a door, a lock, and a first elastic element. The transcowl is mounted on the support structure and is translatable between a stowed position, a deployed position, and an over-stow position. The door is pivotally coupled to the support structure and is rotatable between at least a first position, a second position, and a third position. The lock is movable between a locked position, to prevent transcowl translation toward the deployed position, and an unlocked position, to allow transcowl translation toward the deployed position. The lock is only able to move to the unlocked position when the transcowl is in the over-stow position. The first elastic element is disposed within the stowed position aperture and, when engaging both the support structure and the transcowl, supplies a force to the transcowl.
