Abstract
A mounting for connecting a turbofan gas turbine engine to an aircraft structure comprises three mounting points at the vertices of a triangle on the aircraft structure and three mounting points on the fan casing of the turbofan gas turbine engine. The first mounting point on the aircraft structure is connected to all of the three mounting points on the fan casing by three links. The second mounting point on the aircraft structure is connected to the second mounting point and the third mounting point on the fan casing by two links. The third mounting point on the aircraft structure is connected to the second mounting point and the third mounting point by two links. The links provide an open spaceframe which defines the structure of a pylon. The mounting has reduced weight compared to conventional mountings and is cheaper to manufacture.
