  • the modulation device 100 of the embodiments of FIGS. 6b and 7b allows a low injection corresponding to an intense operating phase of the turbojet engine 6 coupled to an acoustic attenuation, in particular during the take-off phase.
  • the flow of the auxiliary gas flow is optimized according to the turbojet engine speed and according to the configuration chosen.
  • a decrease in the ejection section of the space 10 generates an acoustic attenuation and allows a very high rate of low-speed expansion of the turbojet engine 6 by optimizing the cycle of the latter at high rate of displacement.
  • the modulation device 1 00 advantageously makes it possible to replace the variable nozzles used in the downstream section of the nacelle 1 of the invention.
  • the nacelle may comprise a modulation device of the invention or a plurality of modulation devices.
  • these can be arranged at the same place or at different places of the nacelle, for example at the level of the air inlet lip and the external structure.
  • the injected auxiliary flow can be injected differently in terms of both the ejection angle and the flow rate employed.
  • the lower part 152 In the case of an air inlet 3, the lower part 152, or also called 6h when viewed from the front of the air inlet 3, may have a circulation zone 120 thick relative to the upper part 150 , or also called 1 2h when viewed from the front of the air inlet 3, to avoid distortion of the flow on the lower part 152 of the fan 154 during take-off of the aircraft (see FIGS. 8a and 8b).
  • the upper part 150 may have a thick circulation zone with respect to the lower part 1 52 in order to avoid divergence of the flow (see FIG. 8c and 8d), when cruise regime of the aircraft.
  • the one or both lateral parts of the nacelle when viewed from the front of the air inlet 3 may have a circulation zone 10 which is thicker than the circulation zone 120 of the upper part 150 and the lower part 152 to avoid a distortion of the flow on the fan 154 (see Figure 8e and 8f), during takeoff in crosswind.
  • a device for modifying the section of the internal return zone 108 can be installed to optimize the structure of the flow of the fl ux annex 1 09 and the zone of recirculation zone 1 20.
  • said device may comprise a valve 160 d isposée in the internal return zone 1 08 and / or a movable wall secured to one of the walls 1 10, 140 delimiting the internal return zone 108.
  • the present invention can be used jointly in the air inlet and the ejection outlet.
  • the suction zone 106 may be localized on the outer wall 170 of the nacelle, causing a bypass 171 of the trailing edge of the nacelle (see Figure 10b).
