VIBRATION DAMPING DRAG LINK FITTING FOR A THRUST REVERSER

A nacelle drag-link assembly 150 for a thrust reverser 114 of a propulsion system includes a drag-link fitting 160, a drag link 170, a coupling assembly 210, and a vibration damping assembly 200. The drag-link fitting 160 includes a base region 190 and a coupling socket 192 extending from the base region 190. The coupling socket 192 has a first coupling aperture 194 and a second coupling aperture 196. The drag link 170 includes an inner structure end 172, an outer structure end 174, and a link body 176. The outer structure end 174 includes a pivot area 182 to link with a blocker door 120 of the thrust reverser 114. The coupling assembly 210 is installed through an aperture of the inner structure end 172 and between the first coupling aperture 194 and the second coupling aperture 196 of the coupling socket 192. The vibration damping assembly 200 is installed in contact with the drag-link fitting 160 and the drag link 170; the vibration damping assembly comprises a compliant rub strip (224) installed between the inner structure end (172) and the coupling socket.
