Abstract
A forward engine attachment system for an engine of an aircraft, the forward engine attachment system including a jet engine pylon including, in the region of the forward part thereof, a front part having an attachment wall, and a forward engine attachment with a connecting rod system on either side of a median plane, wherein each connecting rod system is fixed in articulated manner by at least one first link point to the attachment wall and is designed to be fixed in an articulated manner by at least one second link point to a forward part of the engine. Such a forward engine attachment system thus includes a direct coupling between the jet engine pylon and the engine, allowing the production of an assembly that is less heavy and is easier to produce.
