Abstract
An aircraft nacelle includes an air intake (12) followed at the upper part by a part (14) integral with the mast, called a cap, and at least one door (16) with a curved profile, and a device for encircling it in the form of at least one flexible element (38), guide elements (40) for allowing the at least one flexible element (38) to follow the curved profile of the at least one door, a first anchoring point (42) of the at least one flexible element (38) integral with a first edge (78) of the cap and another anchoring point of the at least one flexible element (38) integral with a second edge (80) of the cap, whereby the anchoring points (42) allow a relative translational movement, in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the nacelle, between the cap (14) and the at least one door (16).
