    Abstract: A primary lock system for a translating cowl thrust reverser system includes a primary lock having a housing, a lock, and a manual mechanism. The lock is disposed at least partially within, and is movable relative to, the housing and is movable between a lock position and an unlock position. The manual mechanism is coupled to the lock and is configured, in response to a manual input force supplied to the manual mechanism, to: selectively move from a first position to a second position, whereby the lock is selectively moved from the lock position to the unlock position, respectively, and selectively prevent movement of the lock out of the lock position.

    Abstract: A locking positioning system includes a bearing having an inner race and an outer race. The outer race is coupled to the inner race, and the outer race is to be coupled to a second structure. The locking positioning system includes a housing movably coupled to the inner race, and the housing is to be coupled to a first structure. The locking positioning system includes a lock ring coupled to the housing. The lock ring is movable between a first position, in which the inner race is held in a fixed position, and a second position, in which the inner race is movable to adjust a position of the second structure relative to the first structure.

    Abstract: A pylon system for coupling an engine to a vehicle is provided. The pylon system includes a vehicle pylon to be coupled to the vehicle. The vehicle pylon includes a seal along a portion of the vehicle pylon. The pylon system includes an engine pylon including an inboard longeron and an outboard longeron. The inboard longeron is coupled to the outboard longeron at a first end of the engine pylon and is spaced apart from the outboard longeron at a second end of the engine pylon. The engine pylon is to be coupled to the engine, and the engine pylon is slidably coupled to the seal such that the engine pylon is movable relative to the vehicle pylon between at least a first position and a second position.

    Abstract: An accessory system for a gas turbine engine having a driveshaft with an axis of rotation is provided. The accessory system includes a towershaft coupled to the driveshaft and driven by the driveshaft along a towershaft axis of rotation. The accessory system also includes a shaft including a first shaft bevel gear coupled to a towershaft bevel gear. The shaft is rotatable by the towershaft along a shaft axis of rotation. The shaft axis of rotation is transverse to the towershaft axis of rotation. The accessory system includes a first accessory drive shaft having a first accessory bevel gear driven by the shaft. The accessory system also includes a second accessory drive shaft having a second accessory bevel gear driven by the shaft. A first accessory axis of rotation and a second accessory axis of rotation are substantially transverse to the shaft axis of rotation.

    Abstract: An anti-icing system is provided for an inlet lip annularly extending about a nacelle of an aircraft engine assembly. The anti-icing system includes an interior wall structure at least partially forming an annular anti-icing chamber with the inlet lip and an annular shield with a first end coupled to the interior wall structure and a second end extending into the annular anti-icing chamber. The annular shield divides the annular anti-icing chamber into first and second chamber portions fluidly coupled together by a passage formed between the second end and the internal surface of the inlet lip. The anti-icing system further includes a nozzle at an inwardly radial position relative to the first end of the annular shield such that the heated air exits the nozzle into the first chamber portion in which the annular shield blocks direct impingement on the internal surface of the inlet lip.
