Abstract
An aircraft having a fixed structure, an engine pylon, and a cowling system, a slider bearing a rear cowl and able to move in translation from an advanced position to a retracted position, a displacement system having, on either side of a median plane of the engine pylon, a guide as one with the fixed structure, a sliding element as one with the slider and sliding along each guide disposed on the same side, and a support as one with the fixed structure and having a blade parallel to the translation direction and on which a surface parallel to the translation direction of the slider rests. The presence of the mobile cowl ensures, inter alia, easy access to the inside of the engine pylon and to the systems that are housed therein.
