THRUST REVERSER CASCADE ARRAY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

A method of producing a cascade array (124) and a cascade array (124) is provided. The method includes: forming a plurality of strongbacks (130) from a first thermoplastic material; forming a plurality of comb subassemblies (170), each said comb subassembly (170) including one of the plurality of strongbacks (130) and a plurality of vanes (132) comprising a second thermoplastic material extending outwardly from the respective one of the plurality strongbacks (130); and attaching the plurality of comb subassemblies (170) into a unitary structure to produce the cascade array (124).
