A method for manufacturing a door of a thrust reversal system of an aircraft, said door comprising a first wall with a first face configured to be in contact with an airstream to be deflected and a second face and a network of ribs positioned on the second face of the first wall, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- obtaining of the first wall produced in at least one composite material comprising long fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin matrix;
- producing at least one orifice passing through the first wall;
- and,
- overmolding of the network of ribs on the second face of the first wall by injecting at least one resin after the producing step, the network of ribs including at least one tubular metal insert.
