Abstract
A pod for suspending a turbojet engine unit below the wing of an aircraft includes a suspension assembly with two laterally spaced front beams connecting the turbojet fan casing to the wing, and two rear links disposed in a common vertical plane and pivotally connected at one end to the wing and at the other end to a connection link which is connected at least to the exhaust casing of the engine, the front beams being interconnected by cross-bracing and being connected at the level of the downstream edge of the cross-bracing to at least one fixed part of the engine.
Claims6
A pod for suspending a turbojet engine unit below the wing of an aircraft, said engine defining a longitudinal axis of rotation and including a fan casing, an intermediate casing and an exhaust casing, the pod including suspension means comprising:
- two front beams situated at the same height and spaced from each other when viewed in a transverse plane perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said engine, each of said beams being connected at one end to said fan casing and at the other end to said wing,
- cross-bracing interconnecting said two front beams in a substantially horizontal plane at the level of said fan casing,
- first connection means connecting said two front beams at the level of the downstream edge of said cross-bracing to at least one fixed part of said turbojet engine,
- two rear rods situated in the same longitudinal plane passing through said longitudinal axis of said engine,
- respective attachments fixed to said wing, said rear rods being pivotally connected at one end to said respective attachments,
- and second connection means common to both of said rear rods and connecting said rods to at least said exhaust casing, each of said rods being pivotally connected to said second connection means at the end opposite said one end of the rod.
