Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to an engine assembly for aircraft in which the coupling device comprises a fore aerodynamic structure having a cradle equipped with an aerodynamic cowling, the cradle being hinge mounted on the air intake of the engine, and the fan cowls being mounted to move on the cradle so as to be able to occupy an open position as well as a closed position in which they are supported by the air intake and by a thrust reverser. According to the invention, when the cowls are in open position, the cradle adopts a first configuration in which its aft end rests on a span of the engine mounting structure, and when the cowls are in closed position, the cradle, borne by said cowls, adopts a second configuration in which it is lacking any direct mechanical link with the other elements of the engine mounting structure.
