Claim 0:
1. A thrust reverser, comprising;
a frame;
a track disposed on the frame;
a carrier operatively coupled to the track, the carrier includes a first track lug and a second track lug, and the track includes a first groove configured to receive the first track lug and a second groove configured to receive the second track lug;
a linear actuator configured to be coupled to the frame, the linear actuator includes an actuator housing and a moveable member, the moveable member configured to extend across the carrier, and the carrier includes an actuator groove at least partially through which the moveable member extends;
a first link pivotally coupled to the carrier;
a first reverser door operatively coupled to the carrier via the first link, the first reverser door is movable relative to the frame, the carrier is configured to move the first reverser door to a first deployed position in response to the carrier moving with respect to the track in a first direction, and the carrier is configured to move the first reverser door to a first stowed position in response to the carrier moving with respect to the track in a second direction;
a second link pivotally coupled to the carrier; and
a second reverser door operatively coupled to the carrier via the second link, the second reverser door is movable relative to the frame, the carrier is configured to move the second reverser door to a second deployed position in response to the carrier moving with respect to the track in the first direction, and the carrier is configured to move the second reverser door to a second stowed position in response to the carrier moving with respect to the track in the second direction; and
the first link and the second link are disposed in a first plane, and the first groove and the second groove are in a second plane, the first plane spaced apart from the second plane.
