- an engine which has an engine axis of rotation, the engine extending between a front end and a rear end and comprising a fan, a jet engine core which comprises a front part and a rear part;
- a nacelle positioned about the engine;
- a pylon;
- an engine mount system which connects the engine and the pylon, the engine mount system comprising a front engine mount, a rear engine mount, and a pair of thrust rods which take-up of thrust forces, the rear part of the jet engine core being offset toward the rear end of the engine relative to the rear engine mount and extending as far as the rear end;
- and,
- a suspension system connecting the pylon and the rear part of the jet engine core and which is located between the rear engine mount and the rear end of the engine,
- wherein the suspension system comprises a first end connected to a first anchoring point fixed to the pylon, and a second end which is connected to a second anchoring point fixed to the rear part of the jet engine core, the suspension system having a length, separating the first end and the second end which is greater than a length of the rear engine mount, wherein the second anchoring point is disposed closer to the rear end of the engine than the first anchoring point along the axis of rotation of the engine.
