Abstract:
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a thrust reverser synchronization shaft lock system includes a rotatable shaft comprising at least one radial prong extending radially from the shaft, a hydraulic lock assembly that includes a housing, a piston head having a lock recess, a piston rod extending radially away from the shaft and configured to be urged by the piston head to move the first piston rod end out of engagement with the radial prong to selectably permit rotation of the shaft, and a bias member configured to urge the first piston rod end into engagement with the radial prong, and an electric lock assembly that includes a lock pin and an electric actuator configured to controllably extend and retract the lock pin in and out of engagement with the lock recess.
