Abstract
An aircraft has at least one cowling, a fixed structure, and a hinge system connecting the cowling to the fixed structure. The hinge system includes at least two hinges and at least two stops, including a first stop integral with the fixed structure and a second stop integral with the cowling, the first and second stops being configured to be in contact one against the other when the cowling is in the closed position and to ensure an absorption of a part of the loads between the cowling and the fixed structure at least along a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis of the hinge system.
