A turbofan with a nacelle having a fixed structure, a mobile assembly bearing second blocking element and able to move between an advanced position and a withdrawn position, a set of deflectors able to move in translation between an advanced position and a withdrawn position, and an actuation system having a carriage, a blocking lever bearing first attachment element and able to move between a blocking position and a free position, and a transmission system configured to move the blocking lever from the blocking position to the free position when the mobile assembly reaches a tilting position between the advanced position and the withdrawn position.

A rear engine attachment includes a beam attached to the reactor strut, a rudder mounted by a pivot connection on the beam about a main rotational axis, and two thrust rods each exhibiting a first end attached to the rudder and a second end attached to a front section of an engine, the two thrust rods and the rudder attached to the beam together defining a primary thrust path between the engine and the reactor strut to bear the engine thrust. For each thrust rod, the rear engine attachment exhibits a waiting fail-safe system activated in the event of a failure of the primary thrust path. The rear engine attachment includes, for each thrust rod, a break detector integral with the rudder which is provided to come into contact with the beam in the event of a failure of the primary thrust path. The attachment allows a quick inspection to be made to determine whether there has been a failure of the primary thrust path.
