Abstract

A suspension assembly for an aircraft turbojet engine includes a pylon and connecting rods for taking up the thrust of the turbojet engine which is connected to the pylon. In particular, the suspension assembly includes an insulator which is separate from the pylon and thermally insulates the connecting rods from the turbojet engine.

Claims (11)

1. A suspension assembly for an aircraft turbojet engine, comprising:

a pylon and connecting rods, wherein said connecting rods extend from an upstream part of a gas generator of said turbojet engine to a rear part of said pylon and said connecting rods are configured to take up thrust of said turbojet engine connected to said pylon,

insulating means configured to thermally insulate the connecting rods from the turbojet engine, said insulating means being separate from said pylon.

2. The suspension assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating means comprise independent insulating sheaths for each connecting rod taking up thrust.

3. The suspension assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating means comprise an insulating sheath shared by the connecting rods.

4. The suspension assembly according to claim 3 , wherein said insulating sheath is removable.

5. The suspension assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating means comprise an insulating partition positioned between said connecting rods taking up thrust and a zone occupied by the turbojet engine.

6. The suspension assembly according to claim 5 , wherein said insulating partition is fastened on at least one of the pylon, the connecting rods and the turbojet engine.

7. The suspension assembly according to claim 5 , wherein sealing devices are inserted between said insulating partition and an internal structure of said nacelle.

8. A nacelle surrounding said suspension assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said turbojet engine is suspended from said suspension assembly.

9. The nacelle according to claim 8 , wherein said nacelle comprises channels configured to receive air in a secondary flow zone of said nacelle and to cool said insulating means.
