An aircraft engine assembly including an annular load-transfer structure surrounding the central casing and being mechanically connected to a plurality of substantially planar structures arranged externally with respect to the plurality of substantially planar structures, and biasing it at a plurality of load application points. At least one connecting rod is associated with each of the load application points, the connecting rod being positioned tangentially with respect to the casing, and including an inner end connected to this casing, and an outer end connected to the structure so that it has extending through it an imaginary plane in which the annular structure is located and extends through the load application point.
