Abstract
An air inlet (3) for a nacelle (2) for an aircraft (1) includes at least one acoustic panel (5), adapted to lower noise generated by the engine (21) to which the air inlet (3) is connected. At least one lip (6) defines the profile upon which an airflow flowing into the air inlet (3) acts. If necessary, at least one engine ring (4) is adapted to allow the air inlet (3) to be connected to an engine (21) of the nacelle (2). If necessary, at least one outer barrel (7) is adapted to define the outer shape of the air inlet (3) upon which an airflow acts. The air inlet (3) is manufactured as one single piece, made of a composite material.
