Abstract
A thrust reverser having an annular duct bounding a bypass flow and including a set of vane cascades configured in a stationary pod portion, a displaceable fairing slidably mounted on the stationary pod portion to permit sliding motion along a slotted cylindrical shell and to be translated between a stowed position blocking access of the bypass flow to the vane cascades and a deployed position wherein the vane-cascades are exposed to the bypass flow, a drive system driving the displaceable fairing, and flaps arranged to seal the annular duct in order to deflect a flow toward the vane cascades. The drive system further includes linear actuators substantially configured in the central axis of the slotted cylindrical shells.
