Abstract

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.
