This arrangement of fins forms a ring (5) that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X) of the pod (2), said ring lying within a zone (Zx) that is situated between the central portion of said support strut (3, 3', 3'') and the propeller. The propulsion set further comprises a nozzle (6) that surrounds, at least in part, the propeller (4) and said ring (5).
