Abstract: The invention relates to a thrust reverser for the jet engine of an aircraft. According to the invention, the unlocking of the doors with a view to passage from their folded position to their extended position, is effective only after they have been previously brought into a super-retracted position with respect to the folded position and said reverser comprises stops which allow the doors to pass from the folded position to the super-retracted position only when the rpm of said engine is lower than a threshold close to idling rpm. The invention is particularly applicable to ensuring operational safety of thrust reversers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thrust reverser for a jet engine of an aircraft, which comprises two symmetrical doors pivotally mounted about an axis which is transverse and substantially diametrical to the jet of said engine and which is disposed downstream of the jet exhaust pipe thereof, the doors each being pivoted due to two diametrically opposite hinges and occupying a folded or stowed position in which they form part of the fairing of the engine or fuselage of the aircraft, or an unfolded or opened out position in which they are disposed transversely to the jet, while at least one longitudinal jack is provided at the level of a hinge, for the simultaneous control of the doors via connecting rods.
