Abstract
The present disclosure provides a thrust reverser device that is integrated in an aircraft nacelle. Blocking flaps are stored inside a mobile cowl disposed in a downstream section of the nacelle, under deflection cascade assemblies during direct-jet operation of the nacelle. Various devices are provided for executing the passage from direct-jet operation to reverse-jet operation in two stages: the mobile cowl moves in translation towards the downstream end of the nacelle; and each flap is then deployed in the main air flow path.
