    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion assembly with an engine provided with a cascade-type thrust reverser includes cascades of mobile deflection vanes connected to cascade rails with a slideway connection that allows the cascades of vanes a translational movement between a cruising-flight position and a reverse-thrust position. The thrust reverser allows the cascade rails to be positioned in a forward position, in which the engine, the cascade rails and the deflection vanes can be removed from the propulsion assembly without the cascade rails colliding with the mobile cowl of the reverser. Dismantling and assembly or reassembly methods allow maintenance operations to be carried out on the engine thus dismantled.
