before describing one embodiment of the invention in detail , it is important to specify that the described device is not limited to one particular type of reverser . although illustrated by a grid reverser comprising mobile cowls sliding along rails , it may be implemented with reversers having different designs . fig1 shows a partial diagrammatic view of a nacelle incorporating a thrust reverser 1 . the turbojet engine is not shown . this thrust reverser 1 has a structure comprising two semi - circular mobile cowls 2 able to slide along rails ( not visible ) to expose grids 3 of bypass vanes placed between the mobile cowls 2 and a passage section for the flow of air 4 to be deviated . blocking doors 5 are arranged inside the structure so as to be able to pivot and go from a position in which they do not hinder the passage of the flow of air 4 to a position in which they at least partially block that passage . in order to coordinate the opening of the mobile cowls 2 with a position covering the blocking doors 5 , these are mechanically connected to the mobile cowl 2 by hinges and a system of connecting rods ( not shown ). the movement of the mobile cowls 2 is ensured by a set of electromechanical actuators 6 mounted on a front frame . in the case at hand , each mobile cowl 2 is actuated using three electromechanical actuators 6 each comprising a mechanical shaft 6 b controlled by an associated control housing 6 a comprising an electric motor . the electric motor is a dual - winding electric motor 7 a , 7 b . according to the invention , each winding is electrically powered by a separate power source 10 a , 10 b via a dedicated control unit 11 a , ll b and controlling the power for each electric motor on the concerned power ( path a , path b ). each control unit 11 a , 11 b is also connected to a resolver 12 a , 12 b of each actuator 6 making it possible to monitor the status and position of the cylinder and the control unit to steer the motors accordingly following a particular control strategy . this in particular makes it possible to set up an electric synchronization between the actuators . of course , one will note that the opening and closing instructions for the thrust reversal device and other orders are sent upstream by a fadec 13 ( full authority digital engine controller ), i . e . an upper airplane control and command unit . the fadec 13 will advantageously also comprise two command paths 13 a , 13 b . of course , the control units 11 a , 11 b could be grouped together in a same control unit with segregated processing paths . thus , in the event of a power breakdown or failure of a control circuit , a second control circuit is available and could make it possible to ensure the operation of the thrust reversal device . the choice of the controller 11 a , 11 b in primary control may , for example , be left to the fadec 13 , the other controller then being on standby . the choice could also be made by the control units 11 a , 11 b themselves , with determination of a primary controller and a secondary controller or a strategy where each controller is primary controller in turn with a change upon each start - up of the controllers so as to ensure that each path is frequently activated and minimize dormant breakdowns . in the event of a failure of the path ( a or b ) of the primary controller , the controller on standby on the other path ( b or a ) takes over . the system shown in fig3 illustrates the invention applied to a thrust reversal device comprising a downstream variable jet nozzle section as described in particular in application fr 2 902 839 . similarly to the system shown in fig2 , the system shown in fig3 comprises two power sources 10 a , 10 b each powering a control unit 11 a , 11 b . the control units 11 a , 11 b can communicate with each other via crossed communication channels 110 . the variable - section nozzle of the mobile cowl is actuated by three electromechanical actuators 106 , each driven by an electric motor 107 , the central electric motor being powered by two separate power sources 107 a , 107 b while the two lateral electric motors are powered dually by the same control unit 11 a , 11 b . although the invention has been described with one particular embodiment , it is of course in no way limited thereto and comprises all technical equivalents of the means described as well as combinations thereof if they are within the scope of the invention .
