Abstract

A stow abort mechanism for a ram air turbine (RAT) with a strut that rotates a turbine with associated blades from a stowed position to a deployment condition comprises a stow abort lock plate with an aperture that rotates with the strut and a stow abort lock pin that engages the aperture in the stow abort lock plate when the blades do not align properly for rotating the strut back into the stowed position.
