A structure for an aircraft turbojet including a rolling bearing including an outer ring, a bearing bracket, a retaining ring interposed between the ring and the bracket, a mechanism to connect the ring onto the bracket incorporating an attaching flange installed on the bearing bracket, a flexible connection attached to the ring and to the flange, and a mechanism enabling axial retention of the ring, in event the flexible connection fractures. The mechanism enabling axial retention includes a first stop securely attached to the retaining ring and capable of axially retaining this retaining ring relative to the bracket, and a second stop securely attached to the retaining ring, and capable of axially retaining the ring relative to the retaining ring.

A turbomachine comprising: a gas generator for producing combustion gas; a turbine section through which the combustion gas passes and comprising first and second rows of contrarotating turbine rotor blades respectively driving first and second low-pressure shafts in rotation; and a fan section comprising a first row of fan blades mounted on a front fan shaft that is connected to an upstream end of the first low-pressure shaft, and a second row of fan blades axially offset from the first row and mounted on a rear fan shaft that is connected to an upstream end of the second low-pressure shaft, the front fan shaft being connected to the upstream end of the first low-pressure shaft via a removable sleeve for transmitting torque.
