Abstract: Aircraft engine mounted to aircraft pylon with variable pitch mounting system includes variable length actuator disposed between engine and pylon for pitching engine relative to pylon. Spaced apart pylon front and rear mounts may pivotably mount front and rear stationary engine components of engine to front and rear mount positions on pylon. Front and rear linkages may vertically suspend engine from pylon with pivotable links disposed between pylon front and rear mounts and front and rear stationary engine components. One or more thrust links may be pivotably joined at link rear ends to pylon rear mount and at link forward ends to front support frame. Alternative mounting system may include support structure cantilevered off pylon for pivotably supporting engine and actuator substantially horizontally disposed between engine and pylon. Incidence angle between engine centerline axis and air streamlines may be adjusted by changing length of actuator.

Abstract: A variable pitch fan for a gas turbine engine includes a fan blade defining a pitch axis and attached at a radially inner end to a trunnion mechanism. The variable pitch fan also includes a disk having a disk segment with the trunnion mechanism extending at least partially through the disk segment. A key is positioned at least partially in a key slot defined in a base of the trunnion mechanism, and further positioned adjacent to a support member of the disk segment. The key defines a first contact line between the key and the key slot and a second contact line between the key and the support member. The first and second contact lines respectively define a first contact reference line in a second contact reference line. The first and second contact reference lines define an angle with the pitch axis of the fan blade greater than zero degrees and less than ninety degrees.
