Abstract

An engine attachment pylon for mounting an aircraft engine to an aircraft structure while minimizing vibrations induced into the engine attachment pylon during flight and operation of the engine. The engine attachment pylon comprises a rigid box like structure housing a resonator which is tuned to attenuate tension and compression vibrations experienced by the engine attachment pylon. The engine attachment pylon is primarily used in combination within another identical engine attachment pylon, both being linked together on a vertical plane within the fuselage by a hinge like junction, and each engine attachment pylon being raised approximately 30° from the horizontal axis of the fuselage.
