  • Publication number: 20250137418
    Abstract: A propulsion assembly for an aircraft equipped with a thrust reverser comprising an actuator for moving a movable structure between an advanced direct thrust position and a retracted thrust reversal position, the propulsion assembly further comprising an actuator support device equipped with a first connecting part for connecting it to the deflection edge and/or to the outer shell of the intermediate casing, with a second connecting part for connecting it to a body of the actuator, and with a central part running axially between the shell and the actuator. Moreover, the actuator support device forms a guide for a set of cascades of the movable structure.

  • Patent number: 12258925
    Abstract: A thrust reverser for a propulsion unit, incudes movable grids, two half-assemblies forming part of a secondary stream and, at the six o'clock position, a connecting beam intended to be mounted in cantilever with a fan housing. The half-assemblies are hinged at the twelve o'clock position so as to enable their “butterfly” movement between a flight configuration and a maintenance configuration. The connecting beam includes a connecting member configured to cooperate, in the form of a tenon and groove connection, with the half-assemblies when these are in flight configuration. The reverser also includes, downstream of the connecting member, locks capable of locking the half-assemblies in flight configuration.
