The present disclosure concerns a nacelle for an aircraft engine, which includes a thrust reverser cowling that is slidably mounted between a direct jet position, and a reversed jet position in which the cowling opens a passage in the nacelle and uncovers a deflection device, and at least one actuator for moving the cowling. The nozzle section of the cowling delimits at least one opening that is combined with a leakage door, the leakage door being movably mounted on the cowling between a closed position in which the door engages with the associated opening to counteract the flow of air through said opening, and an open escape position in which the door is retracted to allow a portion of the air flow to flow through said opening.

A thrust reverser may include a frame, a track disposed on the frame, a carrier operatively coupled to the track, a first reverser door operatively coupled to the carrier, the first reverser door is movable relative to the frame, wherein the first reverser door is configured to move to a first position in response to the carrier moving with respect to the track in a first direction, and move to a second position in response to the carrier moving with respect to the track in a second direction, and a deployable fairing pivotally coupled to the frame, the deployable fairing operatively coupled to the carrier, wherein the deployable fairing is configured to move away from a central axis of the thrust reverser to provide clearance for the reverser door to rotate into a deployed position.

A pod for a turbojet engine includes an outer cowl having a structure with at least one opening and a panel pivotably mounted about an axis between a closed position and an open position, and a system for actuating the panel designed to lock the panel in closed position and to move same between the closed position and the open position thereof. The actuation system includes a lateral connecting rod connected to the panel and to the structure, pivoting relative to the structure about a first pivoting axis and about a second pivoting axis, and a linear actuator attached to the lateral connecting rod. The actuator system is designed to move the lateral connecting rod during the extension of the actuator, and the lateral connecting rod exerts a force on the panel during the movement thereof, pivoting the panel about the axis thereof.

An apparatus is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This apparatus includes a variable area nozzle apparatus. The variable area nozzle apparatus includes a plurality of panels, a plurality of inter-panel members and an actuation system. The panels are arranged circumferentially about an axial centerline.

The actuation system is configured to move the panels and the inter-panel members between a restricted flow arrangement and an unrestricted flow arrangement. The actuation system includes a first linkage and a second linkage. The first linkage is coupled to the first panel. The second linkage is coupled to the second panel.

The invention relates to a method for correcting the thrust vector created by a thrust unit associated with electrical correction means of the thrust vector. Such a thrust unit comprises a mechanical rotor moved in rotation by a rotary shaft of an internal combustion engine in response to a power command. Such a method comprises a step of generating this latter in order to reduce the error value between a rotation speed setpoint and a measured rotation speed of the shaft of the internal combustion engine and thus to correct the speed of the shaft of said internal combustion engine. The method also comprises a step of generating an actuation command of thrust vector electrical correction means generated based on the error value independently of the speed correction of the shaft of the internal combustion engine.
