An aircraft having a fixed structure, an engine pylon, and a cowling system, a slider bearing a rear cowl and able to move in translation from an advanced position to a retracted position, a displacement system having, on either side of a median plane of the engine pylon, a guide as one with the fixed structure, a sliding element as one with the slider and sliding along each guide disposed on the same side, and a support as one with the fixed structure and having a blade parallel to the translation direction and on which a surface parallel to the translation direction of the slider rests. The presence of the mobile cowl ensures, inter alia, easy access to the inside of the engine pylon and to the systems that are housed therein.

Aircraft having an engine pylon with a mobile cowl

An aircraft pylon comprising an aircraft pylon fairing extending along a longitudinal axis, a primary structure having a peg that is inserted in a through opening of an inner rib of the fairing and four yokes as well as four removable fixing elements that can be inserted from the outside of the fairing. The fixing elements are inserted in a direction perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of the fairing in order to hold in place a fitting of the primary structure that has an oblong through opening and is inserted into one of said yokes of the fairing. Also a method of assembling an aircraft pylon and an aircraft with such a pylon.
