Abstract

A supersonic air intake of an aircraft propulsion assembly comprises: •⋅ pipe with a longitudinal axis configured to guide the flow of air into the turbine engine, •⋅ a speed reducer fixedly mounted inside the pipe along the longitudinal axis, •⋅ at least one support arm linking the speed reducer to the pipe and having an upstream outer wall and a downstream outer wall together defining a cavity, and •⋅ at least one de-icing device having an inner wall mounted in the cavity opposite the upstream outer wall in order to together define a calibrated de-icing space, as well as a member for supplying and a member for discharging a de-icing air flow in the de-icing space.
