ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting an aircraft engine and a propeller on a longitudinal member or fuselage of a lightweight aircraft. A sleeve is disposed about the longitudinal member and securing devices which prevent longitudinal movement of the sleeve relative to the longitudinal member are positioned at either end of the sleeve. Vibration dampening rings are disposed between the securing devices and cups which can be threaded along the sleeve placing the rings in the desired compression. The engine and the propeller are mounted on the sleeve. A driving sleeve is rotatably mounted on the sleeve and is drivingly attached at one end to the output of the engine and is mounted at the other end to the propeller. The propeller is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal member and the wing structure and tail structure can be mounted on the longitudinal member as well with the propeller positioned between them. The mounting device can also be used for biplanes.
