Abstract
A mounting assembly 2 for mounting a gearbox 10 to a gas turbine engine, comprising a mount ring 4 and a spigot pin 8 having a flange 22 at one end. The spigot pin 8 extends radially outwardly through a bore 14 in the mount ring 4 for engagement with a gearbox 10 and the flange 22 locates against a radially inner surface of the mount ring 4. The bore 14 supports the spigot pin 8 and dissipates forces exerted on the spigot pin 8, for example forces generated during a fan blade-off event.
