Abstract
A propulsion unit for an aircraft is provided. The propulsion unit includes a stationary unit having at least one cowl pivotally mounted on an axis collinear with a longitudinal axis of the propulsion unit between an operating position or a maintenance position allowing access to the turbojet engine for regular maintenance operations and irregular maintenance operations. The maintenance position for irregular maintenance operations includes an opening angle of the cowl that is greater than the opening angle of the cowl to carry out regular maintenance operations. The propulsion unit further includes at least one cylinder and at least one safety connecting rod secured to the cowl and stationary unit.
