Abstract:
1. An aircraft nacelle that comprises an air intake that is followed at an upper part by a cap that is integral with a mast, and at least one door with a curved profile that comprises a stiffening device, characterized in that the stiffening device is arranged at an edge that is upstream from said door and that comprises: a flexible element that follows the curved profile of said door between two remote anchoring points, at least one safety index that comprises a latch that can pivot around an axis of rotation that is connected to the door so as to assume a locked position in which the end of the latch can rest against the inside surface of an edge upstream from the door and an unlocked position in which the end of the latch is offset relative to said edge, whereby in the locked position, said latch prevents the scooping phenomena by limiting the movements of the door in the radial direction toward the outside of the nacelle, and means for stretching the flexible element between the two anchoring points and for controlling the pivoting in the locked position of said latch.
