Suspension device for a turboprop engine

摘要

A device for suspending a turboprop engine from a structural element of an aircraft comprises a suspension pylon parallel to the longitudinal axis of the engine and fixed to the structural element, resilient connections between the engine and the pylon and an arch fixed to the pylon, and a torsion bar carried by the arch so that the bar can pivot freely about its own axis, the opposite ends of the torsion bar being connected to opposite sides of the engine by respective lever and link rod assemblies so that the torsion bar takes up the reaction torque about the longitudinal axis of the engine.
