Abstract

A turbofan engine nacelle has a downstream section which includes at least one front frame. The front frame is attached to a stationary portion of the nacelle, and the downstream section is provided with at least one rail or slide which extends in a longitudinal direction of the nacelle and is capable of engaging with at least one corresponding slide or rail of an attachment pylon of the turbofan engine. The front frame is connected to the rail or slide of the downstream section by means of at least one swiveled connecting rod.

Claims (9)

1. A turbojet engine nacelle having a middle section comprising a fan case of a turbojet engine, and a downstream section comprising at least one front frame, wherein the downstream section is rigidly fixed to the middle section by the fan case and flexibly connected to a fastening pylon of said turbo jet engine by at least one swiveled connecting rod, said downstream section being equipped with at least one rail or slide extending in a substantially longitudinal direction of the nacelle and configured to cooperate with at least one corresponding slide or rail of a fastening pylon of the turbojet engine, wherein the at least one rail or slide of the downstream section is connected to the at least one swiveled connecting rod, and a flange of said at least one swiveled connecting rod being directly attached on a periphery of the front frame.

2. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 1 , wherein the downstream section further comprises a rear frame.

3. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 2 , wherein the rear frame is fastened to the rail or to the slide by means of at least one swiveled connection.

4. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one swiveled connecting rod is oriented according to a plane substantially perpendicular to the pylon.

5. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 4 , wherein said at least one swiveled connecting rod is mainly oriented substantially in a longitudinal direction of the nacelle.

6. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 4 , wherein said at least one swiveled connecting rod is mainly oriented in a transverse direction of the nacelle.

7. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one swiveled connecting rod is a double swivel connection.

8. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 1 , wherein the downstream section is equipped with a thrust reversal device.

9. The turbojet engine nacelle according to claim 1 , wherein the nacelle is a O-duct type nacelle.
