Abstract
An aircraft propulsion assembly having an engine, a nacelle positioned around the engine, an annular duct delimited by the engine and the nacelle for a bypass flow of cold air, at least one bifurcation passing through the annular duct for connecting the engine and the nacelle and having a leading edge and a primary structure of a pylon housed in the bifurcation and configured to connect the engine to an aircraft wing. The propulsion assembly has at least one heat exchange device including a plate heat exchanger, having a hexagonal longitudinal section and positioned in the bifurcation. According to one configuration, the heat exchanger is a countercurrent heat exchanger.
