<p>A gas turbine engine (10) is suspended via a casing (15) from a pylon (12) by a fron mount (20) and a rear mount (40). The front mount (20) comprises a bracket (22), having a plurality of pins (26, 28 and 30) integral therewith, which is bolted to the underside (11) of the pylon (12). The first pin (26) engages an annular flange (16) around the casing (15) to support the engine (10) in a vertical plane. The second pin (28) engages with the casing (15) directly to prevent axial and lateral movement of the engine (10) relative to the pylon (12). The third pin (30) is provided as a failsafe. In normal operation the third pin (30) carries no load, however if the first pin (26) should break the third pin (30) then supports the engine (10) in a vertical plane. The front mount (20) is split in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the engine (10) to render the mount (20) damage tolerant.</p> |
