Abstract
An aircraft engine assembly including a mounting pylon including a rigid structure fitted with a central box, together with a forward extension and a rear extension each including an attached upper organ supported on an upper surface of the central box, and an attached lower organ supported on a lower surface of the front end. The forward and rear extensions support at least a part of the first fasteners interposed between the rigid structure and a turbine engine.
Claims9
An aircraft engine assembly configured to be added on laterally to an aircraft comprising:
- a turbine engine, and
- a pylon including
- a rigid structure, and
- first fasteners interposed between the rigid structure and the turbine engine, the rigid structure including
- a central box extending in a principal direction of the pylon which is substantially parallel to a lengthways axis of the turbine engine,
- a forward extension of the central box, with a length of the forward extension substantially parallel to the principal direction of the pylon, the forward extension including
- an attached upper coupling member supported on an upper surface of a front end of the central box, and
- an attached lower coupling member supported on a lower surface of the front end of the box,
- a rear extension of the central box, with a principal direction of the rear extension substantially parallel to the principal direction of the pylon, the rear extension including
- an attached upper coupling member supported on an upper surface of a rear end of the central box, and
- an attached lower coupling member supported on a lower surface of the rear end of the central box,
- wherein the forward and rear extensions at least partially support the first fasteners.
