Abstract
The invention concerns a pod (16) of an aircraft motor (10) suspended from a pole (14) and comprising a pod cowling (24) joined to the pole (14) along a hinge pin (26) which forms a first angle .alpha. with a first plane (27) passing through the axis of the motor and perpendicular to a second median plane (29) of the pole. According to the invention, the hinge pin (26) forms a second angle .beta. with the median plane (29) so as to make the closing elements of the cowling (25) coincide with complementary corresponding elements of the adjacent edges (30) of the pod (16) when the cowling is closed.
