An aircraft nacelle includes a first conduit for an air inlet and a second conduit for an engine, arranged end to end and connected by an annular flange, attached to the air inlet, and an annular flange, attached to the engine. The annular flanges are connected by a plurality of passage holes in the annular flanges and arranged in line with each other. Rods are housed in the passage holes. For at least one rod, the passage hole of one of the annular flanges has a diameter greater than the diameter of the rod allowing the rod to move in case of deformation of one of the two conduits. An angle profile is inserted between the rod and a cylindrical portion adjacent to the annular flange and is connected to the adjacent cylindrical portion through the intermediary of at least one mechanism for absorbing eventual deformations in radial direction.
