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 propulsion assembly includes an actuator, a secondary door subject to the actuator and contributing to defining an external aerodynamic surface of the nacelle in a first position, a main door contributing to defining the external aerodynamic surface and including a recess that the actuator passes through in a deployed position but not in a retracted position, and a flap connected to the main door. The flap is movable between a closed position wherein the flap closes off at least a first region of the recess through which the actuator passes in the deployed position whereby the flap contributes to defining the external aerodynamic surface, and an open position wherein the flap is moved away from the recess so as to clear the passage for the actuator through the first region of the recess.

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.
