Abstract

A process for using an air input of a turboreactor nacelle of an aircraft, comprising an air input lip which comprises at least one fixed portion and at least one portion which can be moved between a first position, in which the air input lip has an aerodynamic profile so as to guide the internal air flow over the internal wall in order to promote a thrust phase, and a second position, in which the portion is displaced in relation to the fixed portion so that the air input lip has a second radial thickness in the second position which is less than the first radial thickness in the first position so as to promote a reverse thrust phase.
