Abstract

A turbojet-engine cowling combined with a thrust reverser comprising a large-displacement displaceable component (7) includes an electrically grounding mechanism for the displaceable component (7) when in its forward-thrust position. The grounding mechanism comprises an elastic device (20) dedicated to shunt the electric current away from any mechanical member used in the displacement without any displaceable connecting element.
