ABSTRACT:
An engine mounting structure for a turbojet engine is disclosed which incorporates a safety rod in addition to the normal support rods used to attach a turbojet engine to a mounting structure. Under normal conditions, the safety rod is unstressed and supports none of the engine's weight. Upon rupture of one of the support rods, a tensile or compressive force exerted on the safety rod will move it into an active position so as to assume support of the engine's weight. A locking structure is also disclosed which will securely lock the rod in its active position such that it assumes the portion of the engine weight normally undertaken by the ruptured support rod.
