Abstract
The present invention relates to a convergent-divergent turbojet nozzle (1) comprising driven divergent flaps (4a), follower divergent flaps (4b) interposed between the driven flaps, and means (32) for supplying cooling air to the follower flaps (4b), said follower flaps (4b) having a box structure and having lateral openings for delivering cooling air towards the inner face of said driven flaps (4a), in such a way as to limit the heating up of these flaps when the turbojet is in operation.
