Abstract
A thrust reverser includes a diverter configured to divert at least a portion of an air flow from a nacelle and a cowl movable relative to an outer fixed structure of the thrust reverser. The thrust reverser further includes at least one rotatably hinged flap. The cowl configured to move from a closure position in which it provides aerodynamic continuity of the nacelle with the flap and covers the diverter. The flap is movable from a retracted position to an opening position in which it opens a passage in the nacelle and uncovers the diverter. The flap obstructs a portion of an annular channel of the nacelle when in the opening position. The thrust reverser also includes a cable-pulley system for driving the flap. The cable-pulley system includes at least one cable associated with at least one pulley to connect the flap to the thrust reverser.
