Abstract
A thrust reverser for an aircraft propulsion unit, of the type having a mobile cowl able to move between a closed position that allows the propulsion unit to generate thrust and an open position that allows the propulsion unit to generate a reverse-thrust for slowing the aircraft. The reverser includes braking elements such as a slot and a peg respectively integral with a fixed part of the reverser and with the mobile cowl. These braking elements are configured to cooperate with one another by sliding, with friction, when the mobile cowl effects an overtravel, beyond the open position, so as to generate a braking force that opposes this movement. In one preferred embodiment, the slot for this purpose includes a restriction in section along the direction of travel of the mobile cowl.
