VOLUME COMPENSATED FLUID MOUNT

摘要

VOLUME COMPENSATED FLUID MOUNT A fluid mount particularly suited for mounting an engine in an aircraft. The mount includes a frame which is fastened to the engine and a support movably mounted in the frame and adapted to receive a wing pylon stub shaft. Opposed liquid-filled chambers are provided on opposite sides of the stub shaft support and are fluidly interconnected by an elongate tube. An auxiliary chamber is provided on the frame adjacent to the upper liquid chamber and is divided internally into a gas-filled portion and a liquid-filled portion which is in communication with the upper liquid chamber via an orifice. The auxiliary chamber accommodates changes in liquid volume without adversely affecting either the static or dynamic performance of the mount. 28
