Abstract

Disclosed is a method for using an aircraft turbojet engine comprising an air inlet comprising a plurality of rectifier vanes, each rectifier vane being mounted such that it can move between a retracted position to assist the thrust phase and a deployed position in which the rectifier vane protrudes from the inner wall in a radially inward direction in order to rectify the reverse air flow of the inner wall to assist a thrust-reverse phase, in which method at least one rectifier vane is in the retracted position during a turbojet engine thrust phase, the method comprising, during a thrust-reverse phase of the turbojet engine, a step of moving the rectifier vane to the deployed position.
