A front engine attachment system for an engine of an aircraft, the front engine attachment system having an engine pylon having, in its front part, a frontal part having an attachment wall that has a front face, and a front engine attachment having a beam that is fixed against the front face and to which is fixed, on either side of a median plane, a rod system, wherein each rod system is fixed to the beam in an articulated manner by at least one first connection point, and is configured to be fixed to a front part of the engine in an articulated manner by at least one second connection point. Such a front engine attachment system thus has rod systems having two rods, allowing the shape of the rods and the shape of the beam to be simplified.

A front engine attachment system for an aircraft engine, the front engine attachment system having an engine pylon having, in its front part, a frontal part having an attachment wall with a front face, and a front engine attachment having a beam fastened to the front face and to which a link-rod system is fastened on either side of a median plane. The beam has front, intermediate and rear plates. The rear plate is pressed against the front face. The front plate is disposed in front of the rear plate. The intermediate plate is disposed between the front plate and the rear plate. Each link-rod system is fastened to the intermediate plate in an articulated manner by at least one first connection point and is configured to be fastened to a front part of the engine in an articulated manner by at least one second connection point.

A front engine attachment system for an engine of an aircraft. The front engine attachment system has an engine pylon having, in its front part, a frontal part having an attachment wall with a front face, and a front engine attachment having a beam fastened to the front face and to which a link-rod system is fastened on either side of a median plane. The beam is made up of a front plate and a rear plate that are fastened together in a removable manner The rear plate is pressed against the front face. The front plate is disposed in front of the rear plate. Each link-rod system is fastened to the rear plate in an articulated manner by at least one first connection point and is configured to be fastened to a front part of the engine in an articulated manner by at least one second connection point.

A rear engine attachment system for an aircraft engine. The attachment system has an engine pylon with a lower spar having a lower surface, and a rear engine attachment having a beam fixed against the lower surface and to which a pair of rods is fixed. Each rod is fixed to the beam by at least one first connection point and to the engine by at least one second connection point. The beam includes front and rear fittings, and an intermediate fitting with a shoe and an intermediate clevis. The shoe presses against the lower surface. The front fitting presses against the intermediate fitting at the front and the rear fitting presses against the intermediate fitting at the rear. The fixing to the lower spar is ensured by bolts, each passing through the front base or the rear base, the shoe and the lower spar.

A propulsion assembly for an aircraft, the propulsion assembly having a pylon configured to be fastened beneath a wing of the aircraft, a turbomachine having a longitudinal direction, a median plane and a transverse plane, and a nacelle surrounding the turbomachine and having a load support disposed in the top part of the nacelle. The load support has a structural part fastened to the pylon and an aerodynamic part capping the structural part. The aerodynamic part has, at the front, a front part fastened to the structural part and, at the rear, a rear part fastened to the pylon. Separating the load support into two parts makes it possible to reduce the movements of the aerodynamic part capping the structural part of the load support.

An aircraft propulsion assembly includes: a gas generator coupled by a coupling mechanism to a thrust generator having a structural torque transmission gearbox, and a rigid cradle rigidly supporting the thrust generator in a first suspension plane and the gas generator in distinct second and third suspension planes, the cradle being for securing to a structural element of the aircraft via a vibration-filtering flexible connection.

A method of assembling and installing an underwing package to an underside of an aircraft wing is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method includes assembling the underwing package, comprising at least a pylon and an engine, using a build frame; attaching a transfer cart to the underwing package; lowering the underwing package and the transfer cart from the build frame; transporting the underwing package and the transfer cart to the underside of the aircraft wing; and transferring the underwing package from the transfer cart to the underside of the aircraft wing.

An aircraft is disclosed, including a fuselage having a compartment configured to house refueling apparatus. An auxiliary power unit is mounted in the compartment.

Systems and methods for mounting motors include a housing configured to secure motor supported by a motor support framework coupled to and housed within the housing. The motor support framework is suspended from the housing by one or more pluralities of vibration isolation devices. The housing is provided with a mounting surface configured couple the housing a quick-connect bracket disposed on a bulkhead or other structural element.

A turbofan engine may comprise an inlet and a fan case coupled to the inlet. An engine case may be coupled to the fan case via a vane extending between the fan case and the engine case. A strut apparatus may extend from the fan case and limit deflection of the fan case. The strut apparatus may comprise a first end proximate the fan case, and a second end coupled to at least one of the engine case or a structure for mounting the turbofan engine to an aircraft.
