Front pylon
7.1.1
The front pylon’s movement is operated by an arm attached to the
linear actuator as shown in Figure 7-1. The actuator lowers and raises
the pylon to which the MD-TJ42 Jet engine is mounted. Figure 7-1
shows the pylon in the fully extended (raised) position.
Main doors
7.1.2
The opening and closing of the jet main doors are operated by a cam
driven bellcrank assembly. Two pushrods attached to the bellcrank
assembly open and close the main doors.
The opening and closing cycle of the doors is controlled by a cam
follower, connected to the main doors. The linear actuator also drives
this cam which is attached to the front pylon. Figure 7-2 shows the
system in the engine extended (raised) position with the jet doors
closed (pylon not shown).
