Abstract:
A lip assembly for an air inlet of a turbojet engine nacelle includes an inner surface, an external surface. A portion of the external surface is covered by an ice-repellent coating. In particular, the ice-repellent coating includes a piezoelectric actuator which vibrates the external surface and is combined into a matrix of the ice-repellent coating.
