    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.

    Abstract: An assembly for mounting an aircraft engine to an aircraft includes an engine casing flange having a first annular wall extending radially to terminate at an annular rim. A second flange of an additional engine component mounted aft of the engine casing includes a second annular wall. An aft mount bracket has an annular body extending uninterrupted about the center axis and a spigot extending axially from the annular body, the spigot extending circumferentially about an entire circumference of the annular body. The aft mount bracket is axially disposed between the engine casing flange and the additional engine component, with corresponding holes in the first annular wall, second annular wall and aft mount bracket being circumferentially aligned, and the spigot radially abutting the annular rim of the engine casing flange.
