Abstract:
An air intake for a nacelle of an aircraft engine includes a substantially cylindrical outer wall, a substantially cylindrical inner wall, a front lip, a front mounting flange, and a support structure. The front lip connects the substantially cylindrical inner wall and the substantially cylindrical outer wall. The front mounting flange is configured to cooperate with a rear flange of a wall of the aircraft engine forming a fan casing. The support structure comprises a lower end configured to be secured to the fan casing, by the rear flange, and an upper end in contact at least with a downstream portion of the outer wall. The support structure includes access apertures configured to be crossed by maintenance tools during operations of maintenance of the air intake.
