Innovative Thrust Reverser Actuator System (ITRAS)

The integration of the new generation of large turbofan engines with short nacelles, slim aero-lineslines and wing closed coupling pylon, requires much more compact and innovative solutions for the Thrust Reverser function. For Short-Medium Range Aircraft future application at first and further scalability to Long Range A/C, the Thrust Reverser concept can be compatible with an electrical Thrust Reverser Actuator System (TRAS) which power remains below 10-20KW per Nacelle. The proposed activity will consist of defining the best candidate in terms of electrical motors and the way they can be integrated in the Nacelle environment.
