A control system includes an actuator, a locking/unlock device, a central control valve, first and second control valves, and a spool control valve. The actuator is arranged so as to move a door of a thrust reverser between direct jet and reverse jet positions. The locking/unlocking device unlockable under load allowing locking and/or unlocking of the door. The locking/unlocking device is movable between a closure position in which it holds the door in the direct jet position and an opening position in which the door is released. The first and second control valves each fed by the central control valve. The spool control valve fed at least by the first and second control valves. The spool control valve is configured so that a pressure difference between two inlets of the first and second control valves provides a displacement of the spool control valve between first and second stable positions.
A control system of a thrust reverser for a nacelle of a propulsion unit including an engine and accommodating movable thrust reversers, the movable thrust reversers including at least one door movable between a direct jet position in which the at least one door provides aerodynamic continuity of the nacelle and a reverse jet position in which the at least one door opens at least one passage in the nacelle so that the nacelle receives an air flow diverted by the movable thrust reversers to return the air flow outwards and forwards, the control system comprising:
