ABSTRACT:
An aircraft engine mount adapter and method is provided that permits the coupling of an aircraft engine to an aircraft when the pickup points on the engine are incompatible with the location of the mounting pins on the aircraft. The adapter consists of an arcuate shaped member having sufficient lateral curvature so as to be selectively positionable along the length and about the circumference of the engine's casing. Means for locking onto the mounting pins are disposed along the outer surface of the member. The member has a plurality of flanges which are bolted to flanges extending outwards from the engine's casing.
