  • Publication number: 20190195170
    Abstract: The turbojet comprises, linking two of its parts (1, 2) as a main nacelle portion and a rear nacelle portion, a device (4) which moves them relative to one another, for example in order to open a reverse gas thrust slot (3). The device (4) comprises a sleeve (5) and two rods (6, 7) which are coaxial connected together by two screw links (8, 9) and two locking means (10, 11) which may be engaged independently, such that the deployment of one of the rods (6) results in the opening of the slot (3) and the movement of the other rod (7), controlled by the same device (12), only occurs under specific turbojet maintenance circumstances.
