An integrated pylon structure for a propulsion system is suitable for one end to be connected to an aircraft wing and the other end to be connected to an aircraft engine. The pylon structure includes a pylon box section () formed from an upper and a lower bean, a frame () and a side wall panel. The pylon structure has a thrust reverser hood connection structure, provided on the side wall and connected with a nacelle thrust reverser hood having a front fixed hood () and a rear movable hood (). A guide rail allows the rear movable hood to slide and open relative to the pylon box section. The engine thrust reverser hood is directly connected to the side wall of the pylon box section and a guide rail on the side wall guides the opening of the thrust reverser hood.

A front installation node is suitable for integral forming with a front end frame of an aircraft pylon and includes a first lug and a second lug, each respectively protruding outwardly from one of the two sides of the frond end frame; a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, one end thereof being respectively connected to the first lug and the second lug, and the other end thereof being respectively suitable for connecting to an aircraft engine. The first connecting rod can pivotally connect to the first lug at a first connection point. The second connecting rod and the second lug are respectively connected at a second connecting point and a third connecting point. Using the front installation node to transmit torque is beneficial in reducing the external width of a rear installation node, reducing engine fuel consumption.
