ABSTRACT:
The lack of torsional rigidity in the mounting of a turbine engine (10) to a transmission (12) in a power unit (14), (16) is avoided utilizing a mounting structure including a relatively small ring-like base (58), (60) connected to the transmission (12) and a relatively larger, ring-like base (66) connected to the engine shroud (32). A plurality of struts (68) extend between the bases (58), 60) and (66) and are configured to define a series of triangular and/or trapezoidal openings (76). The arrangement of the struts (68) and the openings (76) provides exceptional torsional rigidity.
