Abstract

An aircraft nacelle includes a first subassembly consisting of a pipe (112) channeling an airflow in the direction of an engine having a covering or panel (118) for acoustic treatment, including, from the inside to the outside, a reflecting layer (120), at least one cellular structure (122), and at least one acoustically resistive structure (124) forming the aerodynamic surface of the pipe (112), as well as a second subassembly consisting of a lip (116) and a front frame (126), characterized in that it includes at least one connection element (134) which is separate from the two subassemblies and connected to a portion of the pipe (112) and to a portion of the lip forming an extension of the portion of the pipe at different points so as to be capable of enabling a relative movement between the two subassemblies.
