  • Patent number: 8474751
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an engine assembly for an aircraft comprising an attachment means, a turboprop on an attachment mast, this means including a plurality of front engine attachments (16) each having an engine vibration insulation system (20) including a housing (22), a stress transmitting member (24) extending along a first axis (26) parallel to an axis of rotation of the propeller and a hollow member (28) integrated in the housing and extending along a second axis (30) orthogonal to and intersecting the first axis. According to the invention, a support means for supporting the system (20) is formed by a plurality of clevises (32a, 32b) each having a middle plane parallel to its clevis heads, integrating one of the first and second axes and orthogonal to the other of said axes.

  • Patent number: 7451947
    Abstract: This invention relates to a mounting structure (1) for mounting an engine (2) under an aircraft wing (4), the structure comprising a rigid structure (8) and means (10) of fastening this rigid structure under the wing, the mounting means comprising a forward fastener (14), an intermediate fastener (15) and an aft fastener (16). According to the invention, the forward fastener has at least one triangular shackle on each side of a vertical plane passing through a longitudinal axis (5) of the engine (2), placed in a vertical plane oriented along a longitudinal direction (X) of the aircraft. Furthermore, the intermediate fastener comprises a connecting rod capable of transferring forces applied in a direction (Y) transverse to the aircraft, and the aft fastener comprises at least one shackle oriented along a vertical direction (Z) of the aircraft.
