Abstract
An air inlet (10) for an engine (20) of an aircraft (50), the air inlet (10) having a duct (2) feeding outside air to said engine (20) together with a filter system combining at least one filter (3) and at least one bypass device (4). Said filter (3) and said bypass device (4) are fastened on a common support (1) situated at one end of said duct (2) and on a flank of a fuselage (51) of said aircraft (50). Said bypass device (4) comprises a cover (5) and an actuator (6) controlling opening of said cover (5). Thus, when said filter (3) no longer allows outside air to pass therethrough, said cover (5) is opened, and outside air passes via the bypass device (4) in order to feed said engine (20) with outside air.
