Abstract

A suspension of a multi-flow turbojet engine provided with an intermediate casing and an exhaust casing from a pylon that can be attached to the structure of an aircraft is disclosed. The suspension includes a forward attachment device between the hub of the intermediate casing and the pylon, a rear attachment device between the exhaust casing and the pylon, and a connection device rigidly connecting the intermediate casing to the pylon. The rear attachment device includes an actuator for compensating for the variations in diameter of the exhaust casing so as to keep the axis of the exhaust casing coaxial with the axis of the intermediate casing through the various phases of flight of the aircraft.
