1. A mounting system for mounting an engine on an aerospace vehicle, the engine comprising a fan case, having an outer portion and an outer periphery, and an engine core arranged along a centerline axis, the mounting system comprising:
a pylon;
a lower forward element to couple a forward portion of the engine core with a lower forward portion of the pylon;
one or more lateral linkages extending from the lower forward element to extend laterally between the lower forward element and the forward portion of the engine core;
an upper forward element spaced laterally apart from the lower forward element, extending from an upper portion of the pylon to couple the outer portion of the fan case with an upper portion of the pylon; and
an aft element spaced aftwardly apart from the lower and upper forward elements, extending from an aft portion of the pylon to couple an aft portion of the engine core to an aft portion of the pylon,
wherein the pylon, the lower forward element, the one or more lateral linkages, the upper forward element, and the aft element do not extend vertically beyond the outer periphery of the fan case when coupled to the engine.
