Abstract
A thrust reverser for a nacelle of an aircraft engine includes a movable cowl movable between a closed position in which thrust is not reversed and an open position for uncovering cascades reversing that reverse the direction of the cold air flow diverted from the annular secondary air flow path. The movable cowl includes a radially outer portion disposed proximate a leading edge of an aircraft wing and at least one avoidance panel on the radially outer portion designed to inhibit interference with a movable slat of the leading edge of the aircraft wing. The avoidance panel is pivotally mounted with respect to a fixed structure of the thrust reverser. At least one energy storing device constrains the avoidance panel to bear against the movable cowl, at least when the thrust reverser is in the closed position.
