A gas turbine engine for an aircraft and an engine core including: a compressor system, a first lower pressure compressor, a second, higher pressure compressor; an outer core casing surrounding the compressor system. The outer core casing includes a first flange connection arranged to allow separation of the outer core casing at an axial position of the first flange connection, the first flange connection having a first flange radius, wherein the first flange connection is the connection that is downstream of an axial position defined by the axial midpoint between the mid-span axial location on the trailing edge of the most downstream aerofoil of the first compressor and the mid-span axial location on the leading edge of the most upstream aerofoil of the second compressor, and a front mount arranged to be connected to a pylon. A front mount position ratio of: axial distance between the first flange connection and the front mount first flange radius is equal to or less than 1.18.
