Abstract
An engine attachment system comprising an engine pylon with a top wall, a bottom wall and two lateral walls, and a front engine attachment with a beam which bears two connecting rods for fixing the engine. The engine attachment system also comprises an intermediate piece with a bottom wall and four lateral walls, wherein the beam is fixed against an outer face of the bottom wall, wherein the intermediate piece is fitted at a front-end face of the engine pylon in such a way that an inner face of the bottom wall comes against the front-end face of the engine pylon, and in such a way that the lateral walls of the intermediate piece are superposed with the walls of the engine pylon. In such an engine attachment system, the front engine attachment is thus located on the front-end face of the engine pylon, allowing a space saving.
