THRUST REVERSER ASSEMBLYThe thrust reverser assembly has two halves (also called C-ducts) attached to the aircraft pylon with 5 hinges each and are latched together by means of 7 latches. When the C-ducts are closed, they make a cover over the core engine and form a smooth bypass duct from the LP compressor (fan) into the Common Nozzle Assembly (CNA). The thrust reverser assembly contains the mechanism for reversing the fan airflow during aircraft landing. Each thrust reverser half opens hydraulically by means of an actuator located underneath the engine pylon and is secured open with two hold open rods. Operation of the actuators requires a hand operated hydraulic pump. Each C-duct includes: - a front frame - an inner fixed structure - an outer fixed structure - two pivoting doors
