Fail-safe engine support system

An engine support mount for supporting an engine having a casing, the mount comprising:

• an airframe structure having a length that extends along an x-axis, with a second axis being defined perpendicularly to the x-axis, the airframe structure comprising a first anchor surface;
• a support member fixed to the airframe structure and defining a first aperture and a second aperture spaced from the first aperture along the second axis;
• a mounting assembly comprising:
• (A) an elongated arm comprising a second anchor surface, and (B) first and second primary attachment assemblies respectively attaching the arm to the support member at the first and second apertures;
• and
• a moment arm reduction feature comprising a lug and a corresponding fastener, the lug being fixed to one of the anchor surfaces and the fastener being fixed to the other of the anchor surfaces,
• the first anchor surface being positioned on the airframe structure outside of the first and second apertures along the second axis,
• the second anchor surface being positioned on the arm outside of the first and second attachment assemblies along the second axis.

• an engine link assembly comprising a link comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being attached to the arm and the second portion being attached to the engine casing;
• and
• a moment arm reduction feature comprising a lug and a corresponding fastener, the lug being fixed to one of the anchor surfaces and the fastener being fixed to the other of the anchor surfaces,
• at least a portion of each of the anchor surfaces being positioned closer to the link than to the primary attachment assembly along the second axis.
