Abstract
A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle includes movable cowls which move backward relative to a front frame under the action of an actuation system, thereby making flaps tilt, via a control mechanism, so as to substantially close the annular cold air flow path, and by opening cascades disposed around this flow path and which receive the cold air flow and return it forward. When the thrust reverser is closed, the cascades are partially integrated in the cowls, and the thrust reverser includes an actuation system which makes the cascades move backward along a stroke which is shorter than the stroke of the cowl.

A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle, comprising:
- movable cowls configured to move backward relative to a front frame under an action of an actuation system, thereby making flaps tilt, via a control mechanism, so as to substantially close an annular cold air flow path, and by opening cascades which are disposed around the annular cold air flow path and which receive the annular cold air flow to be returned forward, the cascades configured to be partially integrated in the movable cowls when the thrust reverser is closed,
- wherein the thrust reverser comprises an actuation system configured to make the cascades move backward along a stroke which is shorter than a stroke of the movable cowls, and
- wherein each flap is connected to the cascades via a guiding pin.
