  • Patent number: 4624436
    Abstract: An aircraft engine mount is disclosed which has removable struts attached between the front upper and lower portions of the engine and the airframe during servicing, and a front lower mount having a spherical bearing which permits the engine to pivot about a generally vertical axis at the front of the engine. A rear mounting ring attached to the engine is detachable from the airframe during servicing, accomplished by rotating the aft portion of the engine outward through an access door about an axis at the front of the engine. An angled load bearing pin attached to the rear portion of the engine supplements the rear mounting ring so as to transmit to the airframe the forward loads of the engine experienced during a crash.
