ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching an engine to a strut (10) of an aircraft comprises a main attachment structure and an emergency or standby attachment structure (52). The main attachment structure includes a fitting (16) fixed to the strut (10), as well as at least two swivelled rods (18, 20) connecting the fitting (16) to the engine. The standby attachment structure (52), through which no force passes when the main attachment structure is operational, connects directly, with a clearance, the strut (10) to the engine. It e.g. comprises a yoke (54) integral with the strut (10) and passing through a window formed in the fitting (16), or a rod articulated to the engine and to the strut.
