Abstract
A jet engine support structure includes an inboard support fitting that is configured to be operatively attached to the jet engine, an outboard support fitting that is configured to be operatively attached to the jet engine, an inboard longeron that is configured to be attached to the inboard support fitting and an exterior underside surface of an aircraft wing, an outboard longeron that is configured to be attached to the outboard support fitting and the exterior underside surface of the wing, and a drag brace fitting that is configured to be attached to the inboard longeron and the outboard longeron and operatively attached to the jet engine. These component parts are employed in operatively attaching the jet engine to the aircraft wing. The same set of component parts is employed in operatively attaching the jet engine to either a left side or port side wing or to operatively attach a jet engine to a right side or starboard side wing. The construction of the longerons enable their attachment to the underside surface of the wing using fasteners already used in the wing construction.
