Abstract

A turbojet engine nacelle includes a rear section having an internal structure. The internal structure surrounds a rear part of an engine compartment and delimits, with an ejection jet pipe, an outlet cross section for the ventilation of the engine compartment. The engine nacelle includes a moving element associated with a corresponding controller. The moving element is able to move between a withdrawn position in which the outlet cross section for ventilation is at a maximum and an engaged position in which the moving element partially reduces the outlet cross section for ventilation by comparison with the retracted position. The controller is capable of moving the moving element between the retracted and engaged positions.
