ABSTRACT:
A main engine support structure having a rear portion hinge-mounted at two laterally spaced locations to a leading edge of a wing in a manner to permit limited up and down swing movement of the engine relative to the wing. A generally vertically aligned forward support link connects a forward inboard side portion of the engine support structure to the airplane fuselage, thus providing vertical support for the engine at its forward end. At the rear of the support structure there is a laterally extending link, connecting the support structure to the wing and resisting lateral loads exerted on the engine. This mounting system reliably mounts the engine to the wing, does not interfere with the wing's ability to flex upwardly and downwardly, and properly transmits the loads from the engine into the aircraft structure.
