An aircraft comprising a structure, a tank housed in the fuselage, and fastening means which comprise a front fastening system, a rear fastening system and a lateral fastening system. The front system comprises a front plate, two lateral connecting rods and a central connecting rod that are fastened between the front plate and the tank. The rear system comprises a rear plate and a rear connecting rod fastened between the rear plate and the tank. The lateral system comprises a lateral connecting rod fastened between the structure and the tank, wherein one of the connection points is behind the other connection point.

A fastening system for an aircraft to fasten at least one tank to contain liquid hydrogen, allowing easy access to the tank. The fastening system includes a longitudinal box, upper formers fastened to the upper end of the longitudinal box and lower formers fastened to the lower end of the longitudinal box, at least two upper formers including two fastening devices to each connect a fastening point of the tank to an upper former, at least one lower former including two second fastening devices to each connect a second fastening point of the tank to the lower former. The fastening system allows an operator to access the tanks that are capable of being fastened by the fastening system.

A fastening system for an aircraft configured to fasten at least one tank intended to contain liquid hydrogen includes a longitudinal box, an upper structure fastened to an upper side of the longitudinal box, a lower structure fastened to a lower side of the longitudinal box and at least two fastening frames including, on either side of the vertical plane of symmetry (P), a fastening device for connecting a tank to the upper structure. The fastening system further includes at least two fastening devices for connecting a fastening point of the tank to the longitudinal box and at least two fastening devices for connecting a fastening point of the tank to the lower structure. The fastening system makes it possible to securely fasten at least one hydrogen tank on board an aircraft (AC).

An aircraft engine attachment including a beam fixed to a pylon and including a yoke with two walls, and a connecting rod with an articulation housed in the yoke, in which the connecting rod has a front flank and a rear flank which are facing inner faces of the walls. For each wall, a wearing part is disposed against the inner face of the wall and between the wall and the corresponding flank of the connecting rod. A Fixing arrangement ensures the fixing of the wearing part to the wall. Thus, the wearing parts prevent an excessive tilting of the connecting rod and the wearing of the connecting rod or of the yoke.

A front engine attachment system for an engine of an aircraft, the front engine attachment system having an engine pylon having, in its front part, a frontal part having an attachment wall with a front face, and a front engine attachment having a beam, which is fastened to the front face and to which a link rod is fastened on either side of a median plane. Each link rod is fastened to the beam in an articulated manner by at least one first connection point and is configured to be fastened to the engine in an articulated manner by at least one second connection point. The beam is made up of front, intermediate and rear plates. The rear plate is pressed against the front face. The front plate is disposed in front of the rear plate. The intermediate plate is disposed between the front plate and the rear plate.

A rear engine attachment having a beam fixed to a pylon, a spreader pivotally mounted on the beam, the spreader comprising two ends situated on either side of a median plane, two rods located one on either side of the median plane, each rod having a first end fixed to one end of the spreader by a ball joint and a second end fixed to the engine, each ball joint comprising a clevis with two arms at the first end of the rod, a swivel bearing arranged on the end of the spreader, and a hinge pin passing through the two arms, the swivel bearing arranged between the two arms and fitted on the hinge pin. For each ball joint, an interface part is removably interposed between the end of the spreader and the first end of the rod and forms a contact surface between the spreader and the rod.

An aircraft propulsive assembly comprising a pylon and a turbomachine attached to the pylon by an engine attachment system. The attachment system comprises two engine attachments each secured to the pylon and to the turbomachine. Each engine attachment comprises at least one fitting attached to the pylon by a first main link, and attached to the turbomachine by a second main link. Each main link has a clearance-free fit. The fitting being, moreover, secured to either the pylon or the turbomachine by an additional link, referred to as a safety link, which backs up one of the main links. The safety link is in the form of an assembly with a clearance. The assembly of the safety link comprises at least one passage which receives, in a sliding manner, a tool for checking a presence of the clearance.
