Abstract
A lock for a thrust reversal system of a gas turbine engine includes a pivotal locking member which is moved into the locking position by the engagement of a part of the thrust reversal system as the latter is moved to the inoperative position. The locking member is held in the locking position by a pin which engages within an opening formed in the locking member. The pin is biased by a spring and is movable by a hydraulic piston against the action of the spring to withdraw the pin from the opening.
