Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a front frame for an aircraft nacelle comprising a turbojet mounted on a suspension strut, said nacelle comprising a thrust reverser including an actuator designed to open a thrust reversal cowling. The front frame comprises a tubular torsion box, a first straight attachment edge intended to attach the box to a turbojet casing and a second straight attachment edge intended to attach the box to air flow diversion means. The front frame is arranged to transmit tensile and compressive loads between the turbojet casing and the air flow diversion means and torsion loads absorbed by the suspension strut. The front frame is characterized in that the tubular torsion box has a semi-elliptical or elliptical cross-section.
