Abstract
A suspension arrangement for suspending an air conditioning system from an aircraft airframe structure includes a first suspension unit including plural individual suspension rods, and a second suspension unit including a base frame supported from vertical carrier members. Upper ends of the carrier members are secured to load-carrying suspension points of the airframe structure. Upper ends of the suspension rods are secured to load-introduction points on the base frame. Bottom ends of the suspension rods are secured to suspension points on the components of the air conditioning system. The frame provides a greater number and variety of suspension locations to accommodate a greater number of suspension rods for suspending the air conditioning system, with a smaller number of vertical carrier members being secured to corresponding suspension points on the airframe structure. An intermediate mounting support arrangement may further be provided between the suspension rods and the suspension frame.
