Abstract

See full text

A system for attaching an engine to the structure of an aircraft, such as a sail wing aircraft is disclosed. The system includes an upper beam which is firmly fixed at its front end to a first frame mounted on the aircraft structure, and firmly fixed at its median part to a second frame located to the rear of the first frame. The engine is hooked beneath the upper beam. The system is orientated in relation to a longitudinal axis X, a transverse axis Y and a vertical axis Z. Two front engine attachment points are arranged symmetrically on either side of the vertical median plane of the engine. The front attachment points include a shaft which is inclined relative to the Y-direction and to the Z-direction so that they bear the forces along the longitudinal direction and forces which are inclined relative to the Z-direction and Y-direction.
