Abstract

An aircraft nacelle includes an outside wall (22), at least one air system with at least one air intake (30), whereby the nacelle is connected by connecting element to a mast that is itself connected to the aircraft, with the connecting element allowing a relative movement between the nacelle and the mast in the longitudinal direction of the nacelle, whereby at the front of the junction zone with the nacelle, the mast includes an aerodynamic surface that is called a fairing (24) that covers and exposes a zone of the outside wall called an overlapping zone (28) based on the position of the nacelle (10) relative to the mast, characterized in that an air intake (30) for an air system is arranged at the overlapping zone (28).
