Thrust Reverser Actuation Systems
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.
