The assembly includes a rear fastening system including a pair of vertical shackles articulated between the rear face of the primary structure and a first shoe fastened to the wing, wherein the shackles are fastened to the primary structure by a clevis-type connection, and a pair of transverse shackles articulated between the rear face of the primary structure and a second shoe fastened to the wing, wherein the shackles are fastened to the primary structure by a clevis-type connection. With such an assembly, the bulk of the rear fastening system is reduced.
