Abstract
A turbojet-engine thrust reverser is provided with thrust reverser door assemblies each having a pivoting thrust reverser door (7). The thrust reverser door is connected to two pivots (22, 23) that rest on a support fitting (24) to constitute a structural frame that is attached to longitudinal beam cowling portions (20, 21) and a downstream cowling portion (3) of a stationary thrust-reverser structure in order to constitute a rigid assembly between the upstream and downstream cowling portions (4, 3). At least one primary mechanical lock (26) is placed on at least one longitudinal side of the door (7) and the interface loads of the lock (26) are absorbed by the beam cowling portions (20, 21).
