Abstract

A front attachment device for fastening a turbojet engine to an aircraft fixing strut. The attachment device is adapted to absorb the turbojet engine thrust loads, and includes a top bracket, and a lower bracket. A thrust load absorption vector results from a first convergence point of primary vectors passing through primary fixing points that couple the top bracket to the lower bracket and a second convergence point of secondary vectors passing through secondary fixing points that couple the lower bracket to the turbojet engine. The thrust load absorption vector transmits the turbojet engine thrust loads to the fixing strut, and extends along a longitudinal axis of the turbojet engine.
