Abstract
An internal duct of an aircraft engine pod may include a fan and a tubular air intake having a first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece. The first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece is acoustically homogeneous, is of the resonator type, and has no internal assembly fish-plate. Additionally, the internal duct may include a tubular fan casing and a tubular transition part for connecting the air intake to the fan casing. An internal face of the tubular transition part is acoustically homogeneous also. Moreover, the internal face of the first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece and the internal face of the tubular transition part are disposed in aerodynamic continuity.
