1. A propulsion assembly comprising:
an engine suspended below a pylon by engine attachments comprising, at a front, a front engine attachment, at a rear, a rear engine attachment, and between the two engine attachments, a thrust force uptake device, a vertical median plane passing through a longitudinal axis of the engine separating the propulsion assembly into two parts, left and right, the thrust force uptake device comprising a main fitting fixed below the pylon and two links disposed on either side of the vertical median plane and which each have a front end articulated to the engine and a rear end articulated to the main fitting by a spreader mounted to pivot on the main fitting about an axis of rotation which is orthogonal to a mean plane for transmitting thrust forces parallel to the longitudinal axis of each of the two links, and which is disposed in the vertical median plane, the longitudinal axes of the two links being convergent in a direction from the front to the rear of the propulsion assembly, wherein a first link is articulated to the spreader by a first connecting pin extending parallel to the mean plane for transmitting thrust forces and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first link, and wherein a second link is articulated to the spreader by a second connecting pin extending parallel to the mean plane for transmitting thrust forces and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second link, and wherein the spreader comprises two fastening tabs for fastening the links to the spreader, with a first fastening tab associated with the first link and a second fastening tab associated with the second link, wherein each fastening tab associated with a link extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the link.
