Abstract
An aircraft with an engine dropping mechanism is disclosed. The aircraft includes at least an engine, wherein the at least engine is top mounted to the aircraft; a main body; at least an engine support structure mechanically connecting the at least an engine with the main body; and the well extending from an upper surface of the aircraft toward a lower surface of the aircraft, wherein the well is configured to allow for a vertical displacement of the at least an engine from the at least an engine support structure.
Claims20
An aircraft with a well for engine displacement, the aircraft comprising:
- at least an engine, wherein the at least an engine is top mounted to the aircraft;
- a main body;
- at least an engine support structure mechanically connecting the at least an engine with the main body, wherein the at least an engine support structure comprises one or more sides of the well;
- and
- the well extending from an upper surface of the aircraft toward a lower surface of the aircraft, wherein the well is configured to allow for a vertical displacement of the at least an engine from the at least an engine support structure.
An aircraft with a well for engine displacement, the aircraft comprising:
- at least an engine, wherein the at least an engine is top mounted to the aircraft;
- a main body;
- at least an engine support structure mechanically connecting the at least an engine with the main body, wherein the at least an engine support structure comprises a plurality of hoop structures, wherein each hoop structure of the plurality of hoop structures comprises a horseshoe structure and wherein at least one horseshoe structure of the plurality of horseshoe structures is located forward of a center of gravity of an engine assembly of the at least an engine;
- and
- the well extending from an upper surface of the aircraft toward a lower surface of the aircraft, wherein the well is configured to allow for a vertical displacement of the at least an engine from the at least an engine support structure.
An aircraft with a well for engine displacement, the aircraft comprising:
- at least an engine, wherein the at least an engine is top mounted to the aircraft;
- a main body;
- at least an engine support structure mechanically connecting the at least an engine with the main body;
- and
- a landing gear well extending from an opening at an upper surface of the aircraft and through an opening at a lower surface of the aircraft, wherein the landing gear well is configured to house a landing gear system and configured to allow for a vertical displacement of the at least an engine from the at least an engine support structure and through the landing gear well.
