Abstract
An aircraft engine assembly with an annular load-transfer structure surrounding the central casing (16) and mechanically connected to a plurality of substantially planar reinforcing structures (64a-c) arranged externally with respect to the annular load-transfer structure, and biasing it at a plurality of load application points (68a, 68b, 68c). At least one connecting rod is associated with a load application point, with the connecting rod positioned tangentially with respect to the casing (16), and having an inner end (62a) connected to this casing, as well as an outer end (62a) connected to the annular load-transfer structure (60) so that the outer end of the connecting rod is in an imaginary plane (66a, 66b, 66c) in which the annular load-transfer structure is located and which extends through the load application point.
