  • Case deflection control in aircraft gas turbine engines
    Patent number: 4428189
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine and structure for mounting the gas turbine engine on an aircraft is disclosed. Techniques for controlling the magnitude of engine case deflection from the axis of the engine are developed. The transfer of a portion of the gust and thrust loads externally of the engine case to a location downstream of the rearward engine mount generates a reverse moment which counteracts deflection in the engine case.
