Abstract

A device is provided for hand operation of a gas turbine engine thrust reversing system. Torque is applied to an input element and transmitted to an output element by way of a torque limiting means arranged to substantially remove the torque from the output element when the torque exceeds a threshold. The device also includes means to lock the thrust reverser against movement.
