In one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an aircraft that includes a cowling (300) having a j-track (302, 303) mounted on the inwardly facing surface (328) and a rod (306, 307) pivotally connected to a stationary part of the aircraft at a first end (310, 311) and moveable within the j-track (302, 303) at a second end (308, 309), so that, when the cowling (300) is opened, the second end (308, 309) moves to lock into the j-shaped portion (304, 305) and hold the cowling (300) open. In various embodiments, the first end (310, 311) may be pivotally connected to the aircraft by a quick release pin (518), and the second end (308, 309) may be connected to the j-track (302, 303) by a torsion spring (622). In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the cowling (300) is a bi-folding cowl having an upper portion (400A) and a lower portion (400B), where the rod (306, 307) and the lower portion (400B) may include structures for retaining the lower portion (400B) in an opened position.
