Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system (10) is connected to a strut, fixed to the wing or fuselage, by a fixing device comprising at least one rear mount (22) and two front mounts (24, 26). The rear mount (22) and a first (24) of the front mounts connect a main part (12a) of the frame (12) of the strut to the central casing (16) of the engine. The other front mount (26) connects a front part (12b) projecting from the strut frame (12) to the fan stator case (20) and mainly takes up the vertical forces (Z). Thus, the first front mount (24) can be simplified and bending or sagging of the engine is reduced.
