The invention relates to a forward engine attachment system (150) for an engine (102) comprising a reactor mast (104) with a nose (110) presenting a main female clevis (111) and a cylindrical housing, a main rod (162) fixed to the engine (102) by a secondary ball joint connection around a secondary axis (12), a main shaft (165) providing a main ball joint connection of the main rod (162) in the main female clevis (111) around a main axis (10), where the main axis (10) and the secondary axis (12) are in the same vertical plane, a hollow outer cylinder with vertical axis, of which a first end is fixed in the cylindrical housing and of which a second end is mounted movably through an annular linear connection with respect to the front casing (103) and an inner cylinder threaded and fixed in the outer cylinder. [0002] Such a forward engine attachment system has reduced vertical bulk because the forward engine attachment is integrated into the reactor mast.
