Abstract
A device for controlling propulsive gas mixing at an outlet of an aircraft jet engine, wherein propulsive jets are composed of a hot primary jet exiting from a nozzle of the jet engine and a secondary flux flowing between an external wall of the nozzle and an internal wall of the jet engine including a divergent trailing edge on the wall that generates conditions of a separation of the primary jet close to an existence limit value and a primary jet controller that enables control of passage of the primary jet from a separated state to a reattached state, and vice versa.
