1. An assembly for an aircraft, said assembly comprising:
a pylon comprising
an upper spar,
a starboard-side lateral panel and a port-side lateral panel that extend vertically on either side of the upper spar, and
two lateral scoops, each scoop being fastened on an outside against a lateral panel and having a surface for contact with the upper spar,
a wing comprising
a skin,
a front spar extending on an inside of the skin,
a starboard-side front bracket,
a port-side front bracket,
wherein each front bracket has a front recess,
wherein, for each front recess, an associated front bracket has an open bore passing through the front bracket that opens into said recess,
wherein the front spar has a front pleat, an intermediate pleat and a rear pleat,
wherein the front pleat has a proximal end as one with a lower edge of the intermediate pleat and a distal end that extends forwards relative to the proximal end, and
wherein the rear pleat has a proximal end as one with an upper edge of the intermediate pleat and a distal end that extends rearwards relative to the proximal end,
wherein each front bracket is positioned in front of the intermediate pleat against the front pleat and the intermediate pleat, and
wherein each front bracket is fastened to said intermediate pleat,
wherein, for each front recess, each one of the front pleat, the skin, the upper spar and an associated lateral scoop has a bore passing therethrough that is coaxial with the open bore corresponding to the front recess,
wherein the wing also comprises a starboard-side rear bracket and a port-side rear bracket,
wherein each rear bracket has a rear recess, and
wherein each rear bracket is positioned behind the intermediate pleat against the intermediate pleat and the skin, and
wherein each rear bracket is fastened to said intermediate pleat,
wherein, for each rear recess, an associated rear bracket has an open bore passing therethrough that opens into said recess,
wherein, for each rear recess, each one of the skin, the upper spar and an associated lateral scoop has a bore passing therethrough that is coaxial with the open bore corresponding to the rear recess, and
wherein, for each of the front and rear recesses, the assembly also has a fastening bolt having a nut housed in said recess, and a screw, of which a threaded shank passes through the coaxial bores and the open bore, and is screwed into the nut, and of which the head bears against the associated lateral scoop.
