ABSTRACT:
An aft attachment for an aircraft engine assembly. The attachment has a double boomerang structure including two three-point shackles that are duplicated: only four attachment points are present at the engine mount and two at the engine, the failsafe function being ensured by the dual structure. This attachment design does not sacrifice safety criteria, while providing a more lightweight structure.
