Abstract
A drive unit includes an engine such as a turbofan engine and a nacelle which includes, on the outside around an annular stream of fresh air, starting from upstream, an air inlet, front side covers, a thrust reverser having reversal gratings and movable rear covers. The front side covers surround the reversal gratings of the thrust reverser when it is closed, and the movable rear covers retreat with said gratings to open the reverser. The engine includes lifting points that form heavy-duty attachment points intended to receive handling clevis for lifting and transporting the drive unit. The lifting points are two upper lifting points arranged on the engine, each on one side of the engine radially behind the front side covers above the horizontal diameter (D) of the drive unit.
