Abstract

A propulsion system comprising a chassis, a fan cowl, an articulation system fixed between the chassis and the fan cowl and comprising a shaft with two offset cylinders in which a central cylinder is movably mounted in rotation on the chassis and wherein a lateral cylinder is movably mounted in rotation on the fan cowl, a blocking device limits the rotation of the central cylinder relative to the chassis between a closed position and an intermediate position, and a stopping device allows rotation of the fan cowl between the intermediate position and the open position and preventing rotation of the fan cowl beyond the intermediate position.
