An aircraft propulsion system configured to be supported from an aircraft wing having a leading edge and opposing upper and lower surfaces. The aircraft propulsion system broadly comprises an engine having a core, a fan case, and a nacelle including a plurality of access panels, and an attachment assembly for securing the engine to the aircraft wing. The attachment assembly broadly comprises an upper support section including a number of spars and a number of ribs connected between the spars, a lower support section, and an aft section. The attachment assembly aerodynamically melds the nacelle and the aircraft wing together via the upper support section so that air flowing over the engine flows over the aircraft wing along the upper surface and air flowing laterally alongside the nacelle flows under the aircraft wing along the lower surface.
