Abstract
A connecting assembly for connecting two structures of an aircraft, the connecting assembly including a central element featuring a through-hole, preferably a bore, configured to make a connection with one of the two structures by virtue of a fastener element including a shank inserted into the through-hole. The connecting assembly further includes a plurality of shock-absorbing elements made from a deformable material. Each of the shock-absorbing elements are, on the one hand, secured to the central element and, on the other hand, configured to bear against a surface of the other of the two structures. An aircraft part includes such a connecting assembly.
