CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS
20. The clamshell and bucket target doors (fig. 15- 6) described in paras. 9 and 12 form part of the jet pipe. The reverser casing is connected to the aircraft structure or directly to the engine. The casing supports the two reverser doors, the operating mechanism and, in the case of the clamshell door system, the outlet ducts that contain the cascade vanes. The angle and area of the gas stream are controlled by the number of vanes in each outlet duct.
21. The clamshell and bucket target doors lie flush with the casing during forward thrust operation and are hinged along the centre line of the jet pipe. They are, therefore, in line with the main gas load and this ensures that the minimum force is required to move the doors.
22. Both the clamshell door system and the bucket target system are subjected to high temperatures and to high gas loads. The components of both systems, especially the doors, are therefore constructed from heat-resisting materials and are of particularly robust construction.
23. The cold stream thrust reverser casing (fig. 15- 7) is fitted between the low pressure compressor casing and the cold stream final nozzle. Cascade vane assemblies are arranged in segments around the
