An aircraft turbojet engine low-pressure compressor or booster, comprising an inlet structure de-iced by a pressurized hot fluid circulation coming from the high-pressure compressor. The de-icing structure comprises a deformable membrane through the thickness of which the pressurized fluid circulation passes. When there is a build-up of ice on the membrane, the pressurized fluid circulation is blocked, resulting in its pressure deforming the membrane in such a manner as to crack the build-up of ice.
