Abstract
In an aircraft turbine, an assembly consisting of an air inlet structure, a air blower housing (22) and a connecting part (36), is fitted in such a way as to reduce noise including in the junction area between the structure and the housing. The connecting part (36) is fastened onto a rear section (20'), not provided with a honeycomb core, of the internal wall (20) of the air inlet structure. A honeycomb structure (44) is fitted inside the air blower housing (22). The space inside the rear section (20') houses a forward extension (44') of the honeycomb structure (44), or a different honeycomb structure.
