A thrust reverser including doors and at least one flexible deflector obstructing a lateral opening of the thrust reverser when the doors are open. Such a deflector allows better controlling the airflows in thrust reverser configuration and maximizing the counter-thrust force.

Thrust reverser comprising doors and at least one retractable deflector for closing a lateral opening

A thrust reverser including a stationary structure, a lower door and an upper door. This reverser includes at least one deflector configured to be able to redirect forward from the stationary structure a portion of fluid exiting the reverser according to a trajectory oriented towards a lateral opening extending between the stationary structure and the upper door. Such a deflector makes it possible to improve the control of the air current lines acting on a tail unit and in particular on a control surface of an aircraft equipped with such a reverser when the latter is in thrust reversal configuration, thereby making it possible to improve the controllability of this aircraft.
