Abstract:
An engine attachment configured to link an engine and an aircraft pylon comprising a first end fitting having two mutually parallel wings, a joining piece positioned between the first end fitting wings and linked to the first end fitting by a link system, fixing elements, linking the first end fitting and the pylon, including first and second fixing elements positioned between the first end fitting wings which are inclined by an angle of between 10 and 45° to be able to be put in place and removed in the presence of the joining piece linked to the first end fitting by the link system. The inclined fixing elements absorb lateral loads. The joining piece and the first end fitting are linked by the link system before the engine is fixed to the pylon. The engine is fixed to the pylon by putting the fixing elements in place.
