Abstract
A propulsion unit includes a nacelle, a turbojet engine, and a thrust reverser having gratings provided with movable thrust reversal gratings arranged around an annular duct for fresh air from the turbojet engine. The propulsion unit further includes actuators arranged around the annular duct and each actuator has a front end attached to the turbojet engine and a rear end which translates movable rear covers and gratings for opening, in the annular duct, radial passages which receive said gratings. The propulsion unit further has lifting points that are arranged around the annular duct for lifting the turbojet engine. At least one of the lifting points is formed on a beam for attaching an front end of an actuator.
