Abstract
A jet engine has a central turbojet stream and a peripheral ram jet stream which can be in turn obstructed or freed by flaps. The flaps can be opened outwardly and are located on an intake cone and at an inlet of the peripheral stream. The operation of the flaps is a function of the sought operating mode. This arrangement permits a very good guidance of gases.
