ABSTRACT:
Fan casing (32) of turbo fan jet propulsion engine (20) is mounted to a forward portion of a wing strut (24) by a forward hanger assembly (50). The rearward portion of the core assembly (26) of engine (20) is suspended from wing strut (24) by a rearward hanger assembly (80). A yoke assembly (100) extends forwardly from rear hanger assembly (80) to interconnect with the forward portion of the engine core assembly (26) to restrain against axial movement thereof. Fan casing link (66) extends diagonally upwardly and rearwardly from fan casing (32) to intersect with wing strut (24) at a location rearwardly from the location at which the forward hanger assembly (50) is secured to the wing strut. The fan casing link (66) functions to restrain fan casing (42) from axial movement relative to engine core assembly (26) thereby reducing the relative displacement between these sections of engine (20) due to reactive thrust loads acting through the engine (20) and air loads acting upwardly against a leading inlet cowling (40) that extends forwardly of fan casing (32).
