ABSTRACT:
An engine mount assembly includes an axially pivotable engine support and a thrust mount with a three or four bar linkage which includes a thrust bar, as the first bar, pivotably joined to a forward axial position on the engine structure at the forward end of the first bar. The line of action of the thrust bar intersects the engine centerline at a forward vertical mount plane, which is generally perpendicular to the engine centerline and through which a forward pivotal support mount of the engine support acts to support the engine, substantially at the axial position where engine centerline and forward vertical support plane intersect. An alternate embodiment of the present invention provides a means to counter bending moments produced by aerodynamic forces acting on the nacelle of the engine particularly those referred to as lip loads. The line of action intersects the engine centerline a predetermined distance S aft of the forward vertical mount plane to induce a predetermined first bending moment due to thrust loads to counter a predetermined second bending moment due to aerodynamic loads acting on a nacelle of the engine such that the first and second bending moments act in opposite directions.
