A mounting arrangement securing a gas turbine engine (10) onto a pylon (45) includes a front mount (48), a thrust mount (50), and a rear mount (52). The front mount (48) is disposed forward of a forward end of the thrust mount (50). The thrust mount (50) is angled to point onto an intersection line (L) between a vertical plane (Y) traversing the gas turbine engine (10) and passing through the front mount (48) and a horizontal plane (X) passing through a longitudinal center axis (20). The mounting arrangement of the present invention significantly reduces the bending moment resulting from aerodynamic loading and engine thrust.
