Claim 15:
16. A support structure for attaching an engine to an aircraft pylon at front, mid and rear attachment positions, wherein the support structure includes:
a front mount joined to the engine and configured to attach to the pylon at the front attachment position, and a rear mount joined to an engine core casing and configured to attach to the pylon at the rear attachment position, each of the front and rear mounts being configured to transfer lateral and vertical loads from the engine to the pylon, and the rear mount being spaced from the front mount such that yaw and pitch torques are also transferred from the engine to the pylon through the front and rear mounts;
an axial load transfer formation configured to transfer axial loads from the engine to the pylon; and
a roll-torque transfer formation joined to opposite lateral sides of the engine core casing and configured to attach to the pylon at the mid attachment position to transfer roll torque from the engine core casing to the pylon.
