METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18246478 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an apparatus used to mount a gas turbine engine to a pylon. The apparatus includes multiple mounts and a thrust linkage to securely attach the engine to the pylon. The innovation allows for the downstream section of the engine to be detached without affecting the mounts and thrust linkage.

  • The patent application is for an apparatus used to mount a gas turbine engine to a pylon.
  • The gas turbine engine consists of an upstream section and a downstream section.
  • The apparatus includes a first mount and a second mount to couple the upstream section of the engine to the pylon.
  • The second mount is positioned downstream of the first mount.
  • A thrust linkage is used to connect the upstream section of the engine to the pylon.
  • The innovation allows for the downstream section of the engine to be detached without affecting the first mount, second mount, and thrust linkage.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An apparatus for mounting a gas turbine engine to a pylon, the gas turbine including an upstream section and a downstream section, the gas turbine defining a roll axis, a yaw axis, and a pitch axis, the apparatus including: a first mount to couple the upstream section of the gas turbine engine to the pylon; a second mount to couple the upstream section of the gas turbine engine to the pylon, the second mount downstream of the first mount; a thrust linkage to couple the upstream section to the pylon, wherein the downstream section is decouplable from the upstream section without decoupling the first mount, the second mount, and the thrust linkage.
