  • Patent number: 11878809
    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion assembly includes a first engine and a second engine that are adjacent and a nacelle in which the engines are installed. The nacelle includes a common air inlet lip for the first engine and the second engine, the air flow being divided between the first engine and the second engine by a median lip which extends, at least partly, set back from said common air inlet lip. The common are inlet lip includes, directly in line with the median lip, a bottom lobe and a top lobe extending forward of the nacelle. Such a configuration makes it possible to be able to provide a high aerodynamic form between the fairings of the engines, without the risk of generating overspeeds in the air flow.
