Abstract:
A nacelle of an aircraft turbofan engine including an air inlet upstream from the engine, a median section configured to surround a fan of the engine and delimited on the outside by a fan cowl supported by a fan housing to which it is attached at the upstream portion, a downstream section delimiting an annular flow path in which the air is configured to flow and housing thrust reversal devices, the thrust reversal approach including a movable cowl associated with at least one actuator for moving the movable cowl between a direct jet position, in which it provides the aerodynamic continuity of the nacelle and an indirect jet position in which it opens up a passage in the nacelle by uncovering cascade vanes arranged around this flow path that receive the cold air flow to return it towards the outside and forwards, the cascade vanes being attached to the movable cowl.
