Abstract
A turbojet-engine thrust reverser comprises a displaceable sub-assembly including two internal clamshells (12) mounted on stationary pivots (18) of a stationary structure (1) and an annular, axially displaceable structure (11). The displaceable structure forms the external, downstream part (13) of a cowling. In the forward-thrust mode, the displaceable structure forms a downstream portion (15) of a radial outer wall of the flow path and forms the entire trailing edge by covering the clamshells (12) such that the clamshells form part of the radial outer wall of the flow path.
