The rear engine attachment includes first and second rods, each of them including at least two parts, a first part including at least one support orifice, accommodating a support link bar, configured to connect the rod directly or indirectly to the primary structure, at least one second part including at least one engine orifice, accommodating an engine link bar, configured to connect the rod directly or indirectly to the engine, and also detachable link elements for connecting the first and second parts oriented parallel to the direction of the rod.

REAR ENGINE FASTENER FOR AN AIRCRAFT HAVING REDUCED VOLUME WIDTHWISE AND AN AIRCRAFT COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE SUCH REAR ENGINE FASTENER
20200298986 · 2020-09-24 ·

A rear engine fastener for an aircraft connecting a primary structure and an engine of an aircraft, the rear engine fastener comprising a support configured to be connected to the primary structure, at least one main shackle connected to the support by first and second support link pins, which are symmetrical relative to a vertical longitudinal plane, and to the engine by a first lateral engine link pin and by a central engine link pin, and at least one secondary shackle connected to the engine by a second lateral engine link pin and to the main shackle by a secondary link pin.

GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH LOW STAGE COUNT LOW PRESSURE TURBINE

A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section including a fan rotor, a gear train defined about an engine axis of rotation, a high spool, and a low spool including a low pressure turbine that drives the fan rotor through the gear train. A static structure includes a first engine mount location and a second engine mount location.

Rear attachment of an aircraft engine comprising break detectors

A rear engine attachment includes a beam attached to the reactor strut, a rudder mounted by a pivot connection on the beam about a main rotational axis, and two thrust rods each exhibiting a first end attached to the rudder and a second end attached to a front section of an engine, the two thrust rods and the rudder attached to the beam together defining a primary thrust path between the engine and the reactor strut to bear the engine thrust. For each thrust rod, the rear engine attachment exhibits a waiting fail-safe system activated in the event of a failure of the primary thrust path. The rear engine attachment includes, for each thrust rod, a break detector integral with the rudder which is provided to come into contact with the beam in the event of a failure of the primary thrust path. The attachment allows a quick inspection to be made to determine whether there has been a failure of the primary thrust path.

Aircraft engine mount

An engine mount system having failsafe securement points. The engine mount system includes a forward mount carrying a coat hanger shackle having a spherical bearing and a cylindrical bearing. Securement of the engine mount to a support utilizes pins and bolts with a retaining double wrench washer incorporated into the final mounting structure. The engine mount system additionally includes an aft mount.

Engine turning motor via pneumatic or hydraulic motor

Pressurized fluid is stored while a jet engine is running. After engine shutdown, the fluid is used to drive a pneumatic or hydraulic turning motor that rotates the engine's High Pressure (HP) rotor. The rotation encourages even heat distribution across the HP rotor and thus prevents bowing of the HP rotor.

Method and system for mounting an aircraft engine

A system for mounting an engine to an aircraft includes an engine forward mount angled toward the forward end of the engine at a first angle. At least two thrust links extend between an engine aft mount to a link support connection at a second angle. The engine aft mount is angled toward the forward end of the engine at a third angle. A projection of a load vector of the engine forward mount onto a vertical plane extending through the axis of rotation of the engine and a projection of a load vector of each of the at least two thrust links onto the vertical plane intersect the axis of rotation of the engine within a first vertical plane segment extending between a forward end of a nose of a fan assembly and forward of a forward mount interface.
