The transmission means may comprise support means to support the connecting m^-ns. The support means may comprise an elongate supper: member having first and second 10 opposite ends. The firs end of the elongate support member is preferably conr.e_ted to the connecting means.
Conveniently, the second en- of the elongate support member is connected to a second rem-on of the engine. The support means may be connected to the strut arrangemen_, 15 conveniently in the reckon of the attaching means.
Desirably, the support means is attached at said apex portion. Preferably, the connec-_ng means comprises an A frame.
The mounting arrangement m_. comprise a tripod arrangement SO of said elongate members.
The outer component -_v define an aperture through which the connecting means:an extend. In one embod meet, the attaching means may Comprise an outwardly extending part of the apex portion -;hich can extend through said 95 aperture. In another emUc-ment, the attaching means may comprise a head which car. be arranged in said aperture.
Sealing means is preferably provided to seal the _onr.ection means to the outer composer.:.
Preferably, the mount ng arrangement comprises a pair 30 of said connecting means, arrangeable in spaced relationship to each other about the engine. The connecting means may be arranged opposite each other on the engine. Preferably, the pair of connecting means are arranged at substantially --ametrically opposed regions of 35 the engine.

The carrying meats may be arrangeable on the 10 engine at a region betwee. the pair of said connection means, conveniently substantially midway therebetween. The carrying means may comprise two of said further A frames, which may be arranged oppcs te each other on the engine, conveniently diametrica;:.- opposite each other.
ls Preferably, the further A --Ames are arranged respectively on an upper region and on a:ower region of the engine.
According to another aspect of this invent-on, there is provided a gas turbine en_ ne comprising a core assembly and an outer component, _-.d a mounting arrangement as 0 described above for mounting he engine to a vehicle.
An embodiment of the --mention will now be described by way of example only, wi-.- reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a diagramma:_c side view of a gas turbine er.aine; Fig. 2 is a part sec:onal top view or Me engine shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view of the region marked III n Fig. 2; and 30 Fig. 4 is a front schematic view of the ena ne shown in Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a three shaft gas turbine engine 10. The en_-ne 10 comprises a fan 12 and core assembly 14. The fan 12 has a plurality of blades 3' which have been omitted -om the drawings for clarity.
Downstream of the fan 12 -. he core assembly 14 there is
( 4 provided _ compressor arrangement 16 compr sing intermedia and high pressure compressors which successive_ compress the air passing through the core assembly 1-.
5 The care assembly 14 also includes a combustion arrangemen 18 and a turbine arrangement 20. The combustion arrangement 18 is provided downstream of the compressor arrangement 16 to combust the compressed air wi-:. fuel. The hot combustion products exit the combustion 10 arrangemen 18 and expand through the turbine arrangement 20. The _rbine arrangement 20 comprises a high pressure turbine, _. intermediate pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine. Air passing out of the low pressure turbine is exhausted from the rear of the engine over an 15 exhaust con.- 21.
The core assembly 14 also comprises a casing 22 which surrounds -he compressor arrangement 16, the combustion arrangement 18 and the turbine arrangement 20. The casing 22 include- an intermediate casing 38 surrounding the 30 cer.-al rem-on of the core assembly 14. The intermediate cas-ng 38 _s a static part of the engine 10 Which, in the embodiment shown, surrounds the compressor arrangement 16 and provides structural support for other parts of the eng ne 10.
25 An ou r component in the form of a housing 24 for the far. 12 extends around the front region of the core 14 of the engine:0.
In order to mount the engine on an aeroplane, a mounting arrangement 26 is provided which comprises a pair 30 of connect_:g means 28, 30. Each connecting means 28, 30 comprises strut arrangements in the form of an A frame 32 comprising a pair of elongate struts 34, 36, one end of each of wr. ch is mounted on the intermediate casing 38.
The two elc-.gate struts 34, 36 are joined together at their 35 opposite er.-.s to form an apex region 40.
At th_ front of the engine 10, there is provided a
( 5 frc- bearing housing 42. Transmission means, in the form of an elor. cate support member 41, extends from the apex rec-on 40 to the front bearing housing 42 of the engine 10 to -orm a Tripod arrangement.
5 Attach ng means in the form of a shaft or trunlon pin 44 extends radially outwardly from the apex region 40 of eac-. connection means 28, 30 through an aperture 46 in the hous ng 24. The bunion pin 44 extends through a bore 45 in a ball 48. The ball 48 is rotatably held with a race 10 50, which -s attached to the vehicle, a portion of which 51 is shown. Thus, rotation of the pin 44 in the bore 45 and rot-ion of the ball within the race 50 are permitted. The rac_ 50 s connected directly to a pylon (shown scr_matica; v and designated 51) which attaches the engine 15 to the aircraft. Sealing means 49 is provided in the aperture 46 to seal the bunion pin 44 to the housing 24.
There is negligible force transmission through the sealing mea-.s 49 to the housing 24. The sealing means 49 is prc-.--ded to prevent leakage of air through the aperture 46.
So The to connecting means 28, 30 are arranged diametrica;:\ opposite each other on the casing 22 of the cor- 14 at he horizontal water line of the engine 10.
At the rear of the core assembly 14 of the engine 10, there is Provided a tail bearing housing 50. Securing 25 mea..s in the form of a rear mount link 52 is attached to the tail bearing housing 50 to secure the rear of the engine 10 JO the pylon for attaching the engine 10 to the aircraft. The horsing 4 is secured to the casing 22 of the core 30 14 of the engine 10 by fan outlet guide vanes 54 and also by carrying means in the form of a pair of A frames 56, 58.
The A frames 56, 58 comprise a pair of elongate legs 60, 62, each having an end attached in spaced relation to each other to he core assembly 14 at the region of the 5 intercase As. The opposite ends of the legs 60, 62 meet at respective vertex regions 64 which are provided at top dead
( 6 censure and bottom dead centre of the housing 2.
Thus, there is described a means of attaching a gas turbine engine 10 to an aircraft in which the engine 10 is mounted via the core 14 of the engine 10 through the engine 5 housing 24 so that the engine housing 24 is not part of the connection arrangement.
Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
Whilst endeavouring in the foregoing specification to
10 draw atter.' on to those features of the invention believed to be of particular importance it should be understood that the Applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features hereinbefore referred to and/or shown in the drawings whether or not 15 particular emphasis has been placed thereon.
