Abstract

A thrust reverser for an aircraft propulsion unit, including a fixed structure, at least one cowl and a plurality of cascades of deflection vanes, the cowl and the cascades of vanes forming a system capable of translational movement relative to the fixed structure along a longitudinal central axis, the mobile system further including at least one rear cascade-support structure to which a rear end of the cascades of vanes is fixed, the rear structure extending in a circumferential direction of the reverser. The rear structure incorporates an acoustic-absorption device including an array of cells and a skin covering the cells, the skin having a first surface arranged facing the cells, and a second surface bounding part of a secondary flow path.
