THRUST REVERSER WITH BLOCKER DOOR FOLDING LINKAGE

Abstract: an assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes a fixed structure, a translating structure and a thrust reverser. the thrust reverser includes a blocker door, a structure link and a door link. the blocker door is pivotally coupled to the translating structure. the structure link includes a first structure link arm, a second structure link arm and a structure link mount connected to the first structure link arm and the second structure link arm. the first structure link arm and the second structure link arm are each pivotally coupled to the fixed structure. the first structure link arm and the second structure link arm laterally converge towards one another as the first structure link arm and the second structure link arm extend longitudinally towards the structure link mount. the door link extends longitudinally between and is pivotally coupled to the structure link mount and the blocker door.
