TRAS System
Thrust Reverser Actuation Systems power and control the deployment of aircraft thrust reversers, optimizing aircraft operational safety by minimizing runway stopping distances. Woodward TRAS applications have been fielded since the 1960s and are found on over two dozen large commercial, regional and business jet variants, including FAR Part 33 and FAR Part 25 certification. As an industry leader for TRAS, we are continually developing and manufacturing TRAS for new aircraft programs. The new and patent-pending Rotary Ramloc™ actuator, built upon our legacy Ramloc™ design, includes a unique, internal locking mechanism that allows for the most compact and lightest TRAS locking actuator possible.
