Abstract
A device for locking an engine on a pylon includes two systems attaching the engine to the pylon, located in attachment regions spaced out in a longitudinal direction of the engine. A second region is adjacent to a center of gravity plane of the engine and closer to a fan than a first region. A first system attaching to the first region is rigid towards torsional, transverse and vertical engine forces. The first region is located at a separation between two compressors of the engine or two turbines, whether the fan is at a rear or front of the engine respectively, the separation being adjacent to a node of a first engine flexural mode. A second system attaching to the second region is rigid towards transverse and vertical forces but less rigid than the first system. The device also includes a third system withstanding thrust forces in the longitudinal direction.
