A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine, and a compressor section and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with the fan and with a low pressure turbine of the turbine section. The low pressure turbine includes a rotating drum to which a first airfoil structure is connected and extends radially inward toward the rotary member. A torque frame connects the rotating drum to the rotary member and transfers torque from the first airfoil structure mounted to the rotating drum to the rotary member. The torque frame includes an inner disk mounted to the rotary member, an outer ring and a second airfoil structure formed separately from the outer ring and connected thereto by a releasable connecting structure. The second airfoil structure extends radially inward from the outer ring toward the inner disk.

Dual function links for gas turbine engine mounts are disclosed. An example apparatus for mounting a casing of a gas turbine engine to a pylon, the apparatus includes a first pin and a linkage including a first linkage portion including the first pin, a second linkage portion, the second linkage portion forming a first load path between the gas turbine engine and the pylon, the second linkage portion arranged with respect to the first linkage portion such that a gap prevents the first linkage portion from forming a second load path between the gas turbine engine and the pylon.
