The present disclosure provides a thrust reverser device that is integrated in an aircraft nacelle. Blocking flaps are stored inside a mobile cowl disposed in a downstream section of the nacelle, under deflection cascade assemblies during direct-jet operation of the nacelle. Various devices are provided for executing the passage from direct-jet operation to reverse-jet operation in two stages: the mobile cowl moves in translation towards the downstream end of the nacelle; and each flap is then deployed in the main air flow path.

This trailing edge is of the type with moving chevrons (). It comprises actuating means able to cause these chevrons () to move from a passive position in which they are directed substantially in the direction of the airflow leaving the said engine, into an active position in which at least part of each chevron is inclined with respect to this direction. This trailing edge is notable in that the said active position is derived from the said passive position by pivoting, possibly combined with a translational movement, of at least part of each chevron about an axis (Aa, Ab, Ac) substantially parallel to the said direction.
