Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An example ram air turbine stow abort assembly includes a release pin movable between an engaged position that prevents rotation of a drive shaft and a released position that allows rotation of the drive shaft. A release lever is rotatable about an axis in response to the release pin being in the engaged position or the released position. A pawl has a link to the release lever. The link causes the pawl to move toward the axis from a locking position to a clearance position. The pawl is positioned to engage a lock when in the locking position to prevent movement of the ram air turbine assembly to a stowed position when the turbine blades are misaligned.
