    Abstract: A thrust reverser for an aircraft propulsion assembly includes a movable structure provided with external covers connected to hinges through a pivot connection allowing the external covers to rotate between a closed position and a maintenance position. The hinges are connected to secondary rails rigidly attached to an engine pylon through a sliding connection allowing the external covers to move in translation between a direct thrust position and a reverse thrust position. The hinges and the secondary rails are independent of beams to which the parts of the movable structure other than the external covers are connected. A method for maintaining an aircraft propulsion unit is also disclosed. The method includes positioning of the external covers in maintenance position followed by a placement of the beams and of the parts of the movable structure other than the external covers.

    Abstract: A grid-type thrust reverser for a turbojet engine includes a moving O-shaped thrust reverser body that is generally cylindrical in shape around a longitudinal central axis (A) and includes an inner wall configured to delimit a cold air stream, with an inner structure that surrounds the turbojet engine, the movable thrust reverser body being mounted so as to be able to slide along the longitudinal central axis (A) between a direct jet position in which the outer cowl covers the thrust reverser grids, and a thrust-reversal position in which the outer cowl uncovers the thrust reverser grids. The movable thrust reverser body includes a first half-portion and a second half-portion that are mounted so as to each pivot about a longitudinal pivot axis (B), between a closed position and an open gullwing position for removing the turbojet engine, via the cradle.

    Abstract: A handling assembly of a propulsion assembly includes a nacelle and an aircraft turbojet engine. The handling assembly also includes a handling envelope covering at least half of the circumference of an outer wall of an air inlet of the nacelle, when the propulsion assembly is mounted on said handling assembly, and at least two interfaces for attaching slings, the slings being connected to a hoisting system which is external to said handling assembly. A method for handling a propulsion assembly is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An air intake for a nacelle for an aircraft engine includes a front lip connecting a substantially cylindrical internal wall and a substantially cylindrical external wall, and at least one acoustic structure including acoustic cells. The acoustic structure is situated in the space delimited by the internal wall, the external wall and the front lip. The acoustic structure is an added part secured to the air intake. The acoustic cells of the acoustic structure are arranged facing a region of the internal wall or of the lip at a predetermined distance so that the acoustic cells of the acoustic structure are not in contact with the internal wall or the lip while providing an acoustic attenuation function.

    Abstract: A nacelle for a bypass turbojet engine includes a cascade thrust reverser provided with reversal cascades arranged around an annular stream of fresh air, beneath front cowls. The cascades move backward with movable rear cowls, opening side passages in the annular stream, which receive the cascades for directing the fresh air flow forward, the bypass turbojet engine. The bypass turbojet engine includes fixing points, and the nacelle includes outer hatches closing openings of the front cowls, which are arranged radially outside the fixing points for access thereto, each hatch opening including a contour with edges of two front cowls.
