Abstract

A control system for a thrust reverser with a movable cowl includes an electromechanical actuator to actuate the movable cowl, an electric drive unit (M) driving the actuator, and a power control unit capable of controlling the electric drive unit (M). The power control unit moves the movable cowl to a closed position and/or to a deployed position. In particular, the control system includes an electronic circuit for electric braking capable of braking the electric drive unit (M), in case of overspeed of the drive unit when the movable cowl is moved to the closed position and/or to the deployed position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control system for a thrust reverser with moveable elements, the control system comprising:
at least one electromechanical actuating member of said moveable elements;
an electric driving unit of said electromechanical actuating member;
a control unit; and
a power control unit to control the electric driving unit for moving the moveable elements to a closing position and/or to a deployed position,
wherein the control system further comprises an elec…
