Abstract
A unit for an aircraft thruster is provided that includes a first ferrule configured to be attached to a second ferrule and a first connection flange configured to be secured to a second corresponding connection flange secured to the second ferrule. The connection flange includes a portion forming a plane extending along a radial direction with respect to the first ferrule. A link between the first ferrule and the corresponding connection flange is offset to a distance from said plane corresponding to a length for damping a shear-generating flexural moment, generated by fluxes of forces passing through the first ferrule.
