ABSTRACT:
For bringing about the attachment of a turbojet engine (10) to an aircraft tructure such as a wing (12), use is made of a non-rotary, front, central body of the engine, which is connected by a ball joint (16) to a thrust transmission member such as an air intake (14), which is itself connected to the wing (12) by a thrust transmitting system (18). In this way, the thrust (X) of the turbojet engine is transmitted to the air intake (14) along the engine longitudinal axis before being transmitted to the aircraft structure by the system (18). Therefore the casings and lines of shafts of the turbojet engine are not exposed to any bending moment, which makes it possible to optimize the performance characteristics of said engine. Moreover, it is still possible to deform the wing (12) without any risk of surging or hunting of the turbojet engine.
