Abstract

A gas turbine jet engine having a main flow channel and a housing structure which radially surrounds this main flow channel. A housing gas flow flows in the same direction as the main flow in the main flow channel, the housing structure having a flow conducting assembly. The flow of the housing gas flow to and/or along the main flow channel may be adjusted by adjusting a flow conducting sheet.
