GAS TURBINE ENGINE MOUNTING STRUCTURE WITH SECONDARY LOAD PATH

摘要

A connection for mounting an aircraft engine to an aircraft pylon has a plate to be bolted to a portion of an aircraft engine, and a body extending rearwardly from the plate. The body has a main pivot attachment to a balance beam, which has thrust links pivotally attached to the balance beam. A back-up connection is included between the balance beam and the body such that the back-up connection allows normal pivoting movement of the balance beam relative to the body without contact at the back-up connection.
