20190359352 · 2019-11-28 · ·

A system for mounting a gas turbine engine to a pylon on a wing of an aircraft. At least one temporary forward link, being length-adjustable, and at least one temporary rearward link, being length-adjustable, are provided. These are for temporarily attaching the gas turbine engine to the pylon. The temporary forward link and the temporary rearward link each comprise a respective winch operable to adjust pay out of a respective tension member thereby to provide length adjustment. The temporary forward link and the temporary rearward link maintain a positional relationship between the gas turbine engine and the pylon in the absence of adjustment of the lengths of the temporary forward link and the temporary rearward link. Adjustment of the length of the temporary links brings engine mounts into alignment with pylon mounts for service attachment of the gas turbine engine to the pylon.

Method and device for mounting an engine on an aircraft pylon

The invention relates to a method for mounting an engine (1) on an aircraft strut (3) comprising engine suspension members (31) integral with the strut, the engine being integral with a suspension cradle (6) whereby it is suspended from the strut, the method comprising a step of hoisting the engine in a vertical direction as far as the strut then a step of approaching the strut by a movement of the engine in another direction, characterised in that an intermediate part (7) is fixed to the strut beforehand, by attaching it to said suspension members (31), said intermediate part (7) having an interface intended to cooperate with a complementary interface provided on the cradle (6), in such a way as to position the cradle relative to the intermediate part at the end of the approach movement to the strut. The invention also relates to the system for implementing the method.

An engine mount assembly for mounting an engine which produces a torque to a body having a persistent troublesome frequency vibration is disclosed. The engine mount assembly includes two fluid elastomeric chambers groundable to the body, an intermediate cradle link disposed between the two fluid chambers, a lateral link grounded to the body and the intermediate cradle, and a fluid conduit connecting the two fluid chambers. When subjected to torque a positive fluid pressure is generated within the fluid chambers and fluid conduit with the two fluid chambers share a plurality of loads while a transfer of the persistent troublesome frequency vibration from the body to the engine is inhibited.

Assembly between an aircraft pylon and a turbomachine

The invention relates to an assembly between an aircraft pylon (30) and a turbomachine (20) of longitudinal axis (X), the pylon (30) and the turbomachine (20) each comprising front and rear longitudinal regions, the assembly comprising a rear support (40) configured to connect the rear region of the turbomachine (20) to the rear region of the pylon (30), the assembly being characterized in that the rear support (40) comprises a sliding pivot connection arranged between the rear region of the turbomachine (20) and the rear region of the pylon (30), so as to allow the turbomachine (20) only translational and rotational movements along and about the longitudinal axis (X) and along and about a vertical axis (Z) and a rotational movement about a transverse axis (Y).

Rear mount for an aircraft engine
10464686 · 2019-11-05 · ·

A rear engine mount for a turbomachine of an aircraft comprising a pylon. The rear engine mount comprises a beam attached to the pylon, a first and a second lateral connecting rod having an abutment and attached between the beam and the turbomachine, a three-point, V-shaped central connecting rod, of which the vertex is attached to the turbomachine, and of which the ends of the arms are attached to the beam. The rear engine mount has a plane of symmetry passing through the center of the ball joint of the vertex. The beam has, for each abutment, a buffer, wherein each abutment comes to bear against the buffer in the event of failure of the central connecting rod.
