  • Patent number: 6474596
    Abstract: A suspension system for an aircraft powerplant attached to an aircraft frame and having a housing. The suspension system includes a spindle mounted in a spindle support rigidly joined to the aircraft frame, a bearing cage affixed to the housing and having a bearing positioned therein, a pair of suspension arms connected to the spindle support, and a pair of lateral linkrods configured to link the housing and the suspension arms. The side surfaces of the bearing cage and the suspension arms define a clearance therebetween concentric to the Y-axis. The bearing cage is configurable along the spindle such that the bearing cage is limited to displacement relative to the longitude of the spindle while maintaining contact with the spindle.

  • Patent number: 6129509
    Abstract: The particle trap (15) that extends behind an elbow in the air flow stream (6) in a turbo-prop engine is delimited at the back by an end plate (12) to which intake housing suspension rods (10) supporting the front of the rotating shaft (2), are fastened. It is divided by suspension arms (11) which may be drilled (21) to restore the continuity of the annular chamber forming the trap. Therefore the intake housing suspension device extends through the trap. This type of trap makes use of the inertia of solid bodies carried by the air drawn in, and which could damage the engine blades, and to collect them.
