A thrust reverser (30) for an aircraft propulsion unit, the reverser comprising a stationary structure (31) and a movable structure (29) comprising at least one movable reverser cover (33) delimiting the secondary flow path (21B), the movable structure being translatable with respect to the stationary structure between an advanced direct-thrust position and a retracted thrust-reversal position in which the movable structure (29) and the stationary structure (31) axially define therebetween, on the secondary flow path, a radial extraction opening (56) for at least one portion (20B′) of the secondary flow. The thrust reverser also comprises at least one deployable deflecting membrane (32, 32′) which is designed to deflect the at least one portion (20B′) of the secondary flow forwards. Moreover, in the deployed configuration, the membrane (32, 32′) extends radially outwards beyond the movable reverser cover (33).
Thrust reverser for an aircraft propulsion unit, the reverser comprising a fixed structure equipped with a wall for the radially internal delimitation of a secondary flow duct of the propulsion unit intended to have a secondary flow pass through it, the reverser also comprising a movable structure comprising at least one movable reverser cowl equipped with a radially internal reverser cowl wall delimiting the secondary flow duct radially outwards, the movable structure being movable in translation with respect to the fixed structure on a longitudinal central axis of the reverser, between an advanced direct-thrust position and a retracted thrust-reversal position in which the movable structure and the fixed structure define axially between them, on the secondary flow duct, an opening for radial extraction of at least part of the secondary flow,
