Abstract

An aircraft propulsion system (110) comprising a bypass turbojet engine surrounded by a nacelle defining a flow passage for the secondary stream flows, and connection means for connecting the engine to a wing (132) of an aircraft and comprising a pylon (134) substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (135) of the engine together with suspension means suspending the engine from the pylon, the pylon being angularly offset from a vertical plane (150) containing the longitudinal axis of the engine and from the top of the nacelle, and being situated outside the flow path for the secondary stream.
