Abstract
Air inlet cowl for a jet engine equipped with deicing means.According to the invention, the hollow leading edge (16) of said cowl (9) comprises a mixer (19) for forming, at each moment, a mixture of the stream of hot air (20) being injected and some, previously injected, of the stream of air that is recirculating. This evens out the temperature inside said leading edge (16), eliminating hot spots and optimizing the de-icing.
