Abstract
A method for managing the propulsive power of an aircraft, the aircraft extending longitudinally along an axis X from the rear forwards and comprising at least two lateral propulsion systems each comprising a fan, each lateral propulsion system having a fan rotation speed N2 and at least one rear propulsion system configured to ingest a boundary layer of said aircraft, the rear propulsion system comprising a fan having a fan rotation speed N3, the management system comprising, during a cruising phase P4, a step of adjusting the rotation speed N3 of the rear propulsion system according to the following formula N3=a*N2 in which a is a constant.
