ABSTRACT:
A support system for the aft end of fan jet gas turbine engines which reduces engine bending in operation while accommodating radial and longitudinal thermal expansion forces. A plurality of inwardly extending small flanges are provided on a first ring, which may form part of the engine core cowl, that is secured to the pylon supporting the overall engine. A plurality of outwardly extending small flanges are provided on a second ring, which is secured to, or otherwise forms a part of, the engine. These flanges are spaced in adjacent pairs, one on each ring. Torque links are connected between these pairs of flanges. The torque links support the engine aft end against bending and flexing forces while accommodating thermal expansion forces.
