Abstract
Thrust reverser actuator systems are disclosed herein. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a first controller to communicate with a first flight computer and a second flight computer of an aircraft. The example apparatus also includes a second controller to communicate with the first flight computer and the second flight computer. The example apparatus further includes a thrust reverser and a first electrical actuator coupled to the thrust reverser. The first electrical actuator is to be communicatively coupled to the first controller and the second controller. The example apparatus also includes a second electrical actuator coupled to the thrust reverser. The second electrical actuator is to be communicatively coupled to the second controller. The first electrical actuator and the second electrical actuator are to synchronously actuate the thrust reverser.
