Abstract
A nacelle includes a central structure intended to surround a fan of a turbojet engine and an air intake structure attached to the central structure and able to channel a flow of air toward the fan. The nacelle includes at least one longitudinal outer panel incorporating an air intake lip. An inner panel includes an acoustic shell ring which downstream end is attached to an upstream end of the central structure and therewith forms a fixed structure of the nacelle. Guide means are entirely attached to the central structure for guiding the outer panel or panels and allowing substantially rectilinear movement of the outer panel towards the upstream end of the nacelle so that the air intake structure can be opened.
