An air inlet for an aircraft propulsion unit having a movable upstream portion, a stationary downstream portion and at least one member for longitudinally translating the movable upstream portion between a retracted position in which the movable upstream portion is adjacent to the stationary downstream portion, and an extended position in which the movable upstream portion is separated from the stationary downstream portion, the moving member having at least one guiding bar connected to the movable upstream portion and a drive bar having a plurality of teeth, the stationary downstream portion having, for each moving member, a gear wheel configured to co-operate with the teeth in order to form a rack-and-pinion connection and at least one guiding member of the guiding bar.

A thrust reverser for an aircraft propulsion unit. The thrust reverser includes three gates that can be deployed downstream of an outlet section of the propulsion unit. The device increases the possibilities for installation of the reverser, in particular when a tail assembly extends in line with the propulsion unit.

A nacelle for an aircraft engine comprising a first fan cowl and a second fan cowl, each fan cowl comprising a hinged end and a closing end, each fan cowl being mobile between a closed operating position and an open maintenance position, the first fan cowl having a larger angular coverage than the second fan cowl, the first fan cowl comprising an upper part connected to a lower part by an intermediate hinge so as to allow the lower part to fold towards the upper part.
