Abstract
The bay (,) of a turbofan engine (,) comprises a front structural element (,), whose external surface is continuous and extends over at least 50% of the geometrical chord of the bay. Said element (,) is installed on maintaining and guiding members (,), such as slides, which prevent a significant deformation in flight and allow a sliding to the front of the element (,) for maintenance purposes. A laminar air flow around the front half of the bay (,) is consequently ensured.
