Abstract: Thrust reversers play a critical role in aircraft deceleration by redirecting engine thrust to oppose forward motion. However, mechanical blockages in the thrust reverser system can lead to significant safety hazards, including loss of braking efficiency and asymmetric thrust conditions. This project investigates the causes, effects, and mitigation strategies for mechanical blockages in thrust reversers, focusing on both cascade and bucket-type reverser designs. Through failure analysis, simulation, and experimental testing, the study identifies key failure modes such as actuator malfunctions, foreign object debris (FOD) interference, and structural deformations.
