Abstract

A cascade-type thrust reverser includes a fixed structure on which a rear frame supporting cascades of vanes is mounted, a mobile structure having an outer wall, an inner wall formed in part by an acoustic panel, a partition connecting the outer wall to the acoustic panel, and actuators interposed between the fixed structure and the mobile structure. The actuators extend through orifices formed in the rear frame and the partition. In particular, the rear frame radially interferes with the acoustic panel when the mobile structure is in a direct-jet position.
