Abstract
The present invention relates to thrust reversers with doors for jet aircraft engines. The door (2) is equipped, on the internal face of its upstream end, with at least one auxiliary flap (8) articulated to the door and capable of being brought from a position away from the internal face of the door into a position against the latter, and locked in each of these positions by virtue of a control system with link rods (12, 17, 21, 19). The control system is actuated by virtue of its interaction with a stationary stop piece (23). Locking the flap (8) in each of its positions prevents vibration, and damage thereto.
