Rear engine redundant mount

摘要

An airframe mounted jet engine has a three point support including a front engine mount located on the longitudinal axis of the engine and lateral inboard and outboard rear engine mounts. A redundant rear mount is provided beneath the engine in the vertical plane including the longitudinal axis of the engine which normally does not contribute any significant support for the engine but which, in the event of failure of either one of the two lateral rear mounts, cooperates with the other rear mount to provide a provisional rear support for the engine.
