    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An air intake includes a substantially cylindrical inner wall, a substantially cylindrical outer wall, a front lip connecting the inner wall and the outer wall, a front mounting flange, and a support structure. The front mounting flange is configured to cooperate with a rear flange of a wall of an aircraft engine. The support structure is configured to be secured to the wall of the aircraft engine at a location longitudinally downstream of the mounting flange. The outer wall includes a downstream end configured to be positioned in a junction area flush with a front end of a fan external cowl. A portion of the outer wall being configured to bear at least against the support structure. The support structure is configured to be secured to the wall of the aircraft engine so that a load path passes directly from the outer wall towards the fan casing.
