Abstract
A locking system is disclosed for an aircraft jet engine thrust reverser door that is movably connected to an engine cowling so as to be movable between a forward thrust position and a reverse thrust position, the cowling having a reverse thrust opening that is covered by the thrust reverser door when in the forward thrust position and uncovered when the thrust reverser door is in the reverse thrust position. The locking system has a plurality of locking devices attached to the cowling at the forward side of the reverse thrust opening with at least one locking device located on opposite sides of a longitudinal line equidistantly spaced from opposite lateral sides of the thrust reverser door such that the locking devices simultaneously lock the thrust reverser door in the forward thrust position.
