A power plant (10) having a main gearbox (20), a turbine engine (40), and a heat exchanger (60), the main gearbox (20) including a substantially vertical rotor mast (21). The main gearbox (20) comprises at least a rotary speed reduction stage arranged in a flat casing (22), and a pylon (23). The turbine engine (40) has an engine casing (42) with an outlet shaft projecting from said engine casing (42) and penetrating into said flat casing (22), said outlet shaft (41) being substantially parallel to the rotor mast (21), said engine casing (42) being offset longitudinally from the pylon (23) and not being in contact with the pylon (23). The heat exchanger (60) extends longitudinally behind said turbine engine (40), while, on the contrary, said rotor mast (21) is situated longitudinally in front of said turbine engine (40).

1. A power plant having a main gearbox and a turbine engine, the main gearbox having a substantially vertical rotor mast suitable for rotating a hub of a rotor, the turbine engine having an outlet shaft for driving said main gearbox, said power plant having a heat exchanger fastened on said turbine
1. A power plant having a main gearbox and a turbine engine, the main gearbox having a substantially vertical rotor mast suitable for rotating a hub of a rotor, the turbine engine having an outlet shaft for driving said main gearbox, said power plant having a heat exchanger fastened on said turbine engine, wherein: said main gearbox has at least one rotary speed reduction stage arranged in a flat casing and a pylon standing on a top face of said flat casing, said pylon having said rotor mast passing therethrough;said turbine engine includes an engine casing, said outlet shaft projecting from said engine casing, said outlet shaft penetrating into said flat casing when said engine casing is arranged on said top face, said outlet shaft being substantially parallel to the rotor mast, said engine casing being offset longitudinally relative to the pylon and not being in contact with the pylon; andsaid heat exchanger extends longitudinally behind said turbine engine, said rotor mast being situated on the contrary longitudinally in front of said turbine engine. 2. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said power plant includes a firewall arranged between the engine casing and said pylon. 3. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said flat casing extends longitudinally from a front segment carrying said pylon to a rear segment carrying said turbine engine. 4. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said turbine engine comprises a gas turbine having a gas generator and a working turbine secured to a working shaft (55), said working shaft being substantially parallel to the rotor mast. 5. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said turbine engine includes a speed-reducer gear that is interposed in the engine casing between a working shaft and said outlet shaft. 6. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said turbine engine includes a dynamic seal through which said outlet shaft passes in order to isolate a space inside the turbine engine from a medium outside the turbine engine. 7. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said power plant includes connection means for fastening the engine casing to the flat casing, said connection means including a ring of bolts and a plurality of centering pegs. 8. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said power plant includes a fluted connection between said outlet shaft and said main gearbox. 9. A power plant according to claim 8, wherein said fluted connection has a fluted endpiece secured to the outlet shaft, said fluted endpiece meshing with a freewheel of the main gearbox, said freewheel meshing with a rotary speed reduction stage. 10. A power plant according to claim 9, wherein said freewheel meshes with a large wheel. 11. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said outlet shaft projects from said engine casing over a height greater than 10 cm. 12. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said power plant has a first lubrication system for lubricating the main gearbox and a second lubrication system (120) for lubricating the turbine engine. 13. A power plant according to claim 12, wherein said first lubrication system includes a mineral oil, said second lubrication system for lubricating the turbine engine including a synthetic oil. 14. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said pylon includes suspension means for suspending the main gearbox to a support platform. 15. A power plant according to claim 1, wherein said pylon and said turbine engine are stationary relative to said flat casing. 16. An aircraft having a lift rotor comprising a hub and a plurality of blades, wherein said aircraft includes a power plant according to claim 1. 17. An aircraft according to claim 16, wherein said aircraft includes a support platform carrying said power plant, said power plant being stationary relative to said support platform.
