    Abstract: An aerodynamic profile including a skin defining the outer surface of the aerodynamic profile, a leading edge, a trailing edge and a central portion representing at least 50% of the chord of the profile. The profile includes a hollow core of composite material reinforced with a textile having unidirectional fibers. The hollow core has, in cross section, an oblong shape that is rounded, in particular at each of its ends. The skin bears against the hollow core over the length of the central portion of the aerodynamic profile, both on the pressure side and on the suction side of the profile. The reinforcement with a textile having unidirectional fibers permits an ideal orientation of reinforcing fibers in order to optimize mechanical properties in certain directions. The shape of the hollow core, elongate along the chord of the profile and rounded, lends it great resistance to deformation.

    Abstract: A nacelle has a fixed cowl and a mobile cowl, which is movable along a translation path between closing and opening positions, a window delimited by the fixed cowl and the mobile cowl and open between an airflow and exterior of the nacelle, a reverser flap rotatably mounted to move between closed and open positions, and a drive mechanism configured to control passage of the reverser flap between the closed and open positions as the mobile cowl moves between the closed and open positions. From the closing/closed positions, the drive mechanism assures a translation of the mobile cowl and a rotation of the reverser flap toward their respective opening/open positions. From the open/opening positions, the drive mechanism assures a rotation of the reverser flap and a translation of the mobile cowl toward their respective closed/closing position. In some embodiments, the nacelle further includes an additional, or second, flap.
