This trailing edge is of the type with moving chevrons (9a, 9b, 9c). It comprises actuating means able to cause these chevrons (9a, 9b, 9c) to move from a passive position in which they are directed substantially in the direction of the airflow leaving the said engine, into an active position in which at least part of each chevron is inclined with respect to this direction. This trailing edge is notable in that the said active position is derived from the said passive position by pivoting, possibly combined with a translational movement, of at least part of each chevron about an axis (Aa, Ab, Ac) substantially parallel to the said direction.
