Zusammenfassung:A thrust reverser drive arrangement for driving a thrust reverser cowl for movement relative to first and second guide tracks is described which comprises a first actuator (16a) located, in use, close to the first guide track (12), a second actuator (16b) located, in use, close to the second guide track (12), and a third actuator (16c), the actuators (16) being arranged to be driven in synchronism and at the same speed by a drive motor (18) to drive the cowl (10) for movement, and wherein the third actuator (16c) is provided with a load limiter (40) to limit the transmission of loads through the third actuator (16c) in the event that the third actuator (16c) is subject to a compressive loading greater than a predetermined level.
