Aircraft turbofan engine mounting

摘要

An aircraft engine mounting assembly (14) comprising a bracket arrangement (16) with two plates (20, 22) located either side of an opening (18) in the structural bypass duct (12). The bracket arrangement (16) mounts two inclined links (30) which connect to the engine. In normal usage, tension/compression from the links will be passed by the bracket arrangement (16) into the airframe. Upon failure of one of the links (30) the bracket arrangement (16) will engage with the structural bypass duct (12) to transmit engine loads into the airframe via the duct (12). <IMAGE>
