Abstract

The invention relates to an acoustic panel (20) for an ejector nozzle (10) comprising the following main components: an external skin (22) containing acoustic holes (29); an internal skin (23); an acoustic structure (21) comprising alveolar-core cells (27) between the internal skin (23) and the external skin (22). At least one main component selected from the external skin (22), the internal skin (23) and the acoustic structure (21) is formed by a composite material and the acoustic structure (21) is held in contact with either or both of the internal (23) and external (22) skins by compression by elastic means and/or by fixing by mechanical fixing means (24). The invention also relates to an injector nozzle (10) and a nacelle (1) comprising such an acoustic panel (20).
