Abstract
An aircraft propulsion unit including two distinct fan spools, and including a first duct and a second duct extending downstream of the two fan spools, the propulsion unit including a control ring disposed on one of the ducts, downstream of one of the fan spools, with at least one annular internal wall extending in an interior space of the duct, the control unit of the control ring being configured to modify the shape of the internal wall, and to cause an air passage cross section in the duct to vary at the ring, a device for acquiring acoustic signals generated by acoustic waves propagating downstream of the fan spools, and a device for processing the acoustic signals, configured to measure a dephasing between the acoustic waves and to control the control ring depending on the dephasing.
