Abstract
A thrust reverser system for a jet engine has a thrust reverser sleeve lock, preferably for each thrust reverser sleeve, that provides at least one of the redundant anti-deployment mechanisms of the thrust reverser. The thrust reverser sleeve lock has a lock pin that engages a lock pin hole in a slider of the thrust reverser when the thrust reverser sleeve is in a stowed position and the thrust reverser sleeve lock is in a lock position to prevent the thrust reverser sleeve from deploying. The thrust reverser sleeve lock is located out of a plane in which other anti-deployment mechanisms of the thrust reverser are located.
