Claim:
A suspension for suspending a jet engine on an aircraft strut, comprising: a beam having a platform provided with fasteners for fastening the beam to said aircraft strut and arranged transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the jet engine, first and second lateral links each connected by a first pin to the beam and by a second pin to an engine casing, the second lateral link being prolonged by a finger extending from the first pin of said second lateral link and housed with clearance in a cavity provided in the beam so as to form a standby safety connection and a central link arranged between the first and second lateral links and connected by a first pin to the beam and by a second pin to said engine casing, wherein the beam comprises a clevis for housing the first connecting pin of the central link, and said first pin of the central link is distant from the platform so that a space is provided between the platform and the central link, this space forming said cavity in which the finger of the second lateral link is housed with clearance in normal operation such that said finger, in said normal operation, extends between said platform and said first pin of the central link and across a plane passing through said first pin of the central link and perpendicular to the platform, and wherein said clearance is eliminated when the transmission of the forces by the second pin of the central link is interrupted.
