Abstract

Provided is an aircraft propulsor thrust reverser with a fastening system. The fastening system may include a male spool and a female spool configured to be threaded into the male spool. The male spool and the female spool may be coupled to a honeycomb structure and may evenly distribute force to the honeycomb structure to prevent plastic deformation of a honeycomb core of the honeycomb structure.
