Abstract

An aircraft propulsion assembly, including a turbine engine comprising at least one gas generator configured to generate a main flow, which is supplied by a central jet to at least one power turbine, the central jet being surrounded by an outer fairing, and the power turbine driving, on the periphery thereof, at least one fan rotor. The aircraft propulsion assembly comprises first movable means which are arranged so as to divert at least some of the main flow from the central jet to the outside of the outer fairing and preferably upstream of the turbine engine so as to generate thrust reversal. An aircraft which uses the propulsion assembly, particularly on the rear tip of the fuselage of the aircraft.
