Abstract

The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake extending circumferentially around the axis X and comprising an inner wall, which faces the axis X in order to guide an inner air flow, and an outer wall, which is opposite the inner wall, for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall in order to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the internal cavity, the air intake comprising at least one disruption member of the external air flow, positioned upstream of the ventilation orifice, which extends outwardly from the outer wall.
