Turbofan nacelle including thrust reverser with grounded mobile part

摘要

The engine nacelle, equipped with an opening thrust reversal door (7), has the door connected to the main body of the nacelle when closed by an elastic element (20) designed to conduct electricity separately from any mechanical drive member and having no mobile joint. The elastic element is in the form of a spring vane of an electrically conducting material which is squeezed by the door as it closes and is in permanent contact with the fixed structure of the nacelle, the contact pressure being intensified by the electrodynamic force from the passage of the electrical current.
