Abstract

A thrust reverser for aircraft gas-turbine engines includes latch devices that display a tell-tale visible indication when thrust reverser shutters (doors, etc.) are ajar. A latch of the lock at least partly projects from a wall (13, 14) radially bounding the annular structure (12) of the thrust reverser (10) when the latch (37) is in the open mode.
