Claim Text:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a nacelle; a first support structure coupled between a wing and a first side of the nacelle along a thrust axis of an engine; a first engine mount link to pivotably couple the first support structure and the engine at a first position; a second support structure coupled between the wing and a second side of the nacelle along the thrust axis, the first support structure spaced apart from the second support structure on the wing, the first and second support structures to be coupled to opposite sides of the engine to enable thrust loads to be reacted through the first and second support structures to the wing; a second engine mount link to pivotably couple the second support structure and the engine at a second position; and a third engine mount link to pivotably couple the second support structure and the engine at a third position, a first plane intersecting the first position and the thrust axis of the engine, the second position and the third position being radially spaced apart from the plane, the first, second, and third positions being asymmetrically disposed relative to a lateral axis of the engine that extends through the thrust axis.
