  • Attachment device for an aircraft engine
    Patent number: 6173919
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for attaching an aircraft engine onto a pylon fixed to a wing or a fuselage. The device comprises a fitting (26), fixed to the pylon (20) by bolts (34, 36), and at least two connecting arms (28, 30), linking the fitting to a structural component (22) of the engine. To allow the installation of engines with larger diameters while preserving the mechanical strength and without increasing aerodynamic disturbance, barrel nuts (38, 40) are put into position into which the bolts (34, 36) are screwed, and certain pins connecting the connecting arms (28, 30) to the fitting (26) are put into the same bores (42, 43) of the fitting.
