Aircraft engine assembly
An aircraft engine assembly has a front engine mount connecting an engine and a primary structure of a pylon comprising at least one front rod having at least three front link points. A first front link point is configured to connect the front rod and the front end of the primary structure. A second front link point is configured to connect the front rod and the core of the engine. A third front link point is configured to connect the front rod and the engine core and is offset relative to the second front link point in a horizontal transverse direction. The first front link point of the front engine mount is separated from the rotation axis of the engine by a distance greater than an exterior radius of the rear casing of the core of the engine at the rear link point of the rear engine mount.
TURBINE ENGLINE, SUCH AS FOR EXAMPLE AN AIRCRAFT TURBOJET ENGINE OR A TURBOPROP ENGINE
The invention relates to a turbine engine provided with an element (3), comprising a wall (11) and at least one load-bearing member (17) extending substantially perpendicularly relative to the wall (11), with said member (17) being intended to be attached onto a mounting (18) used for the attachment thereof onto an aircraft structural part, characterized in that a thermal protection member (23) surrounds said member (17), with said thermal protection member (23) comprising a base flexibly supported on the wall (11) of the element (3), with said base matching the shape of said wall and at least one covering part which surrounds said load-bearing member.
Turbine engine comprising means for supporting at least one item of equipment
Turbine engine, comprising means for absorbing the thrust forces from its engine, which comprise longitudinal connecting rods, the ends of which are connected to structural annular casings of the turbine engine, characterized in that it comprises means for supporting at least one item of equipment on said thrust-absorbing connecting rods and/or for suspending at least one item of equipment from said thrust-absorbing connecting rods.
Method and apparatus for reducing high transient mount load in aircraft engine mounting systems
Exemplary embodiments are provided to reduce the high transient mount load in an aircraft engine mounting system under extreme loading condition. The exemplary embodiments reduce the impact of the snubbing phenomenon without adding to the weight or space claim of the engine mounting system.
PROPULSION SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT FOR TURBOFAN GAS TURBINE ENGINE
An integrated propulsion system according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan section, a gas turbine engine, a geared architecture, a nacelle assembly and a mounting assembly. The nacelle assembly includes a fan nacelle and an aft nacelle, the fan nacelle arranged at least partially about a fan and the engine, and the fan nacelle arranged at least partially about a core cowling to define a bypass flow path.
AIRCRAFT
An aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing disposed above the fuselage, a pylon connecting the wing to the fuselage, and a plurality of internal combustion engines housed in the fuselage. The pylon vertically traverses the fuselage and is fixed to an upper portion and a lower portion of the fuselage. Among the plurality of internal combustion engines, a first internal combustion engine and a second internal combustion engine are disposed bilaterally symmetrically about the pylon and are fixed to the pylon.
Accessory mounting for a gas turbine engine
A gas turbine engine assembly is connected to a pylon for mounting the gas turbine engine to an aircraft. The assembly has a frame supporting at least one accessory independently of the gas turbine engine. Frame is attached to the pylon at forward and rearward engine mounting locations. The frame includes at least one hollow tube and at least one hollow tube is fluid tight. The one hollow tube is evacuated or contains pressurised fluid and a pressure sensor is provided to detect a change in pressure in the at least one hollow tube to determine if there is a leak in the at least one hollow tube and hence if the frame is damaged. This ensures that the frame may be repaired or replaced before there is a loss of operation of one or more of the accessories which may result in a failure of the gas turbine engine.
TWO DEGREE-OF-CONSTRAINT SEMI-FUSIBLE GEARBOX MOUNTING LINK
A gearbox mounting link between a gas turbine engine structure and a gearbox mounting location comprises two engine attachment brackets secured to an engine structure, and attachment plate rotatably attached between the engine attachment brackets, and a secondary retention sleeve and fastener. The attachment plate includes a fusibly separable section configured to attach to the gearbox, a static section, and a shear necks connecting the statis section to the fusibly separable section. The secondary retention sleeve is supported by and secured to the static section. The secondary retention fastener is supported by the secondary retention sleeve, and is disposed through an oversized fastener passage through the fusibly separable section, thereby loosely retaining the fusibly separable section in at least one of the two degrees of freedom in the event of a load sufficient to break the shear necks, separating the fusible separable section from the static section.
ONE DEGREE-OF-CONSTRAINT SEMI-FUSIBLE GEARBOX MOUNTING LINK
A mounting link between an engine and a gearbox comprises an engine attachment piece, a gearbox attachment piece, and primary and secondary retention fasteners. The engine attachment piece is rotatably secured to the engine, and the gearbox attachment piece is rotatably secured to the gearbox. The primary retention fastener rigidly constrains the gearbox attachment piece with respect to the engine attachment piece in a single degree of freedom, but is configured to shear at a breakpoint load. The secondary retention fastener constrains the gearbox attachment piece loosely with respect to the engine attachment piece, and can withstand the breakpoint load. The gearbox attachment piece and engine attachment piece abut in a friction fit that provides Coulomb damping.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE
A system for mounting an engine to an aircraft includes a rigid structure coupled to a wing and including a forward mount interface and an aft mount interface. The system includes a frame including a first support connection and a second support connection spaced apart from the first support connection. A linkage structure couples the frame to the rigid structure and includes a first linkage pair extending between the forward mount interface and the first support connection at a first angle with respect to a rotational axis, and a second linkage pair extending between the aft mount interface and the second support connection at a second angle with respect to the rotational axis.
