Abstract
A nacelle for an aircraft turbojet engine includes a thrust-reversing device with a fixed structure and a movable structure translatably movable along an axis substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the nacelle between a retracted position in which it provides aerodynamic continuity with the fixed structure of the nacelle during operation of the nacelle with forward thrust and a deployed position in which it opens a passage intended for the circulation of a diverted secondary air flow during operation of the nacelle with reverse thrust. The nacelle includes at least one position sensor configured and arranged in the nacelle for detecting a deformation of the movable structure exceeding a permitted predetermined deformation threshold.
