Aircraft thrust reverser system with vanes and wall
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035428A1) describes an apparatus for an aircraft propulsion system, specifically focusing on a thrust reverser system. The apparatus includes a thrust reverser cascade with a thrust reverser door that can move between stowed and deployed positions. The cascade features a series of vanes and a wall that blocks gas flow when the door is deployed. The design also incorporates rails and panels to control airflow and create cavities within the cascade structure. Additionally, the patent details the configuration of channels within the cascade, with specific distances between channels and vanes to optimize performance.
Furthermore, the patent outlines the integration of the thrust reverser system into the overall propulsion system structure of the aircraft. The flowpath within the structure leads to an exhaust nozzle, with the thrust reverser cascade and vanes exposed to the flowpath when the system is stowed. The design ensures efficient operation and control of airflow during thrust reversal. The apparatus also includes features such as rails and additional channels to enhance the functionality of the thrust reverser system. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive approach to improving aircraft propulsion systems through innovative design elements and configurations.
