  • Assembly for mounting a turbine engine to a pylon
    Patent number: 8985509
    Abstract: An assembly for mounting a turbine engine to a pylon includes a mounting beam, a plurality of fasteners, a first mounting linkage and a second mounting linkage. The mounting beam includes a mount beam fitting that extends axially between a first mount beam end and a second mount beam end, and a mount beam flange that extends radially out from the mount beam fitting at the first mount beam end. A first fastener aperture extends radially through the mount beam fitting, and a second fastener aperture extends axially through the mount beam flange. The fasteners connect the mounting beam to the pylon. A first of the fasteners is mated with the first fastener aperture, and a second of the fasteners is mated with the second fastener aperture. The first mounting linkage connects the first mount beam end to a first engine attachment. The second mounting linkage connects the second mount beam end to second engine attachments.
