  • Patent number: 11293378
    Abstract: A thrust reverser for a nacelle of an aircraft engine includes a movable cowl movable between a closed position in which thrust is not reversed and an open position for uncovering cascades reversing that reverse the direction of the cold air flow diverted from the annular secondary air flow path. The movable cowl includes a radially outer portion disposed proximate a leading edge of an aircraft wing and at least one avoidance panel on the radially outer portion designed to inhibit interference with a movable slat of the leading edge of the aircraft wing. The avoidance panel is pivotally mounted with respect to a fixed structure of the thrust reverser. At least one energy storing device constrains the avoidance panel to bear against the movable cowl, at least when the thrust reverser is in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 10961951
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thrust reverser for a device receiving a propulsion element, such as a turbojet engine nacelle. The thrust reverser includes a stationary structure having a deflector deflecting at least a portion of the air flow that is to flow through the nacelle, a translatably movable cap that can be in a closed position in which the cap covers the deflector deflecting the air flow and an open position in which the cap opens the deflector deflecting the air flow, and at least one moving actuator configured to move the cap between the open and closed positions. The moving actuator includes a stationary portion designed to be attached to the stationary structure in a first securing position and a movable portion designed to be attached to the cap in a second securing position. An adjusting device adjusts the first securing position.
