Abstract
The thrust reverser includes a reverser cowl of which a downstream part of the reverser cowl forms a jet nozzle, cascade vanes fixed upstream from the reverser cowl, thrust reverser flaps, and an actuator. The thrust reverser is translatable under an effect of the actuator between a folded position of the thrust reverser flaps for operation of the nacelle in a direct jet mode, and a deployed position of the thrust reverser flaps for operation of the nacelle in a reverse jet mode. In particular, the stretching of the actuator results in causing a variation in a nozzle section of the jet nozzle as long as the stretching is below a predetermined value, and exposing the cascade vanes and deploying the thrust reverser flaps so as to perform the reverse jet mode beyond the predetermined value.
