Original Design- statics floating mount - weight and maneuver loads single thrust mount Rf Hr Rr d (turbine case offset) T L causes ovalization
Original Design- statics Rf Hr Rr d M T L
Early Boeing 747 Engine Mount Issue 34- load pickup member 66- pin 44- thrust block 46,48- mount rails 50,52- slider blocks 62,64- holes
Improved Design- statics floating mount - weight and maneuver loads Rt axial sliding mount Rf d(1-cos(60)) Rr a dcos(60) T L
Improved Design- statics Rt Rf d(1-cos(60)) Rr a dcos(60) M T L bending moment reduced 50%
