Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a nacelle; a first support structure coupled at a first position of a wing and at a first side of the nacelle along a longitudinal plane intersecting a thrust axis of an engine; a first engine mount link to pivotably couple a first aft mount and a first clevis of the engine, the first aft mount coupled to the first support structure; a second support structure coupled at a second position of the wing and at a second side of the nacelle, the first position spaced apart from the second position, the second side opposite the first side and disposed along the longitudinal plane, the longitudinal plane to extend through the first support structure, the second support structure, and the thrust axis; a second engine mount link to pivotably couple a second aft mount and a second clevis of the engine, the second aft mount coupled to the second support structure; and a third engine mount link to pivotably couple a third aft mount and a third clevis of the engine, the third clevis coupled to the second support structure, in a position of the engine, the first and second clevises of the engine are on a first side of the longitudinal plane and the third clevis of the engine is on an opposing second side of the longitudinal plane, the first and second support structures enable thrust loads from the engine to be reacted through the first and second support structures to the wing.
