    Abstract: A front engine attachment system having an engine pylon having a frontal rib fastened against a front face, a front engine attachment having a beam fastened to the frontal rib, two rods articulated to the beam respectively via two connection points and one connection point, and a front casing of an engine, wherein the first rod is articulated to the front casing via a connection point and wherein the second rod is articulated to the front casing via a connection point, wherein each point of connection of a rod to the beam is positioned inside a volume that extends the front face of the engine pylon towards the front. Such a front engine attachment system has reduced bulk and therefore less drag.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a support structure for attaching the engine to an aircraft pylon. The support structure includes: an engine-side interface member, a pylon-side interface member interfacing to the engine-side interface member, and a top V-shaped connection formation above the engine core and pair of side V-shaped connection formations on opposite lateral sides of the engine core, each V-shaped connection formation being formed by a pair of connection members meeting at a vertex, the vertex of the top V-shaped connection formation joining to the top of the engine-side interface member, the vertices of the side V-shaped connection formations respectively joining to the bottom ends of the engine-side interface member, and the connection members extending forwardly from their respective vertices to join to front fixation points at the core casing.
