Abstract

The invention relates to a turbojet nacelle (1) and to an aeroacoustic noise reduction device for said nacelle, the nacelle comprising a nozzle (10) on the downstream end thereof, said nozzle (10) comprising an inner wall inside which a first flow from the turbojet circulates and an outer wall (102) outside which a second flow corresponding to the surrounding outside air circulates. The invention also relates to an aeroacoustic noise reduction device (20) of the turbojet, comprising a plurality of chevrons (201) arranged on the circumference of the nozzle (10). The invention is characterized in that the aeroacoustic noise reduction device also comprises a slide (202) arranged on the circumference of the nozzle in such a way that it can rotate about the axis of the nozzle, each chevron (201) being connected to the slide (202) by means of a guiding element (204) that can move along the slide (202) during the rotation thereof in order to ensure the displacement of the chevron (201).
