Abstract
The air intake includes two main flaps (1, 2) facing each other and each pivoting about a pin (4, 5) adjacent to a wall (6, 7) extending the flap in question (1, 2) rearwards, and in which a first boundary layer bleed (8a, 8b) is arranged, the pins (4, 5) being substantially parallel to the plane of the wings or of the fuselage so that the flaps (1, 2) move perpendicularly to this plane, and a ramp (11) pivoting about a pin (12) adjacent to its leading edge (11a) by which it is adjacent to the wings and to the fuselage and substantially parallel to the pins (4, 5) is upstream of the flap (1) which is closest to the wings and with which it delimits another boundary layer bleed (13) of variable cross section.
