Aircraft Engine Unit
An engine assembly for an aircraft including a turbojet, a suspension pylon, and a plurality of engine suspensions. The plurality of suspensions include a first forward suspension and a second forward suspension fixed to an engine fan case and located symmetrically about a plane defined by a longitudinal axis of the turbojet and its vertical direction, the first and second suspensions each configured to resist forces applied along a longitudinal direction of the turbojet and along its vertical direction. Furthermore, the plurality of suspensions also include an engine aft suspension configured to resist forces applied along the vertical direction.

11 . An engine assembly for an aircraft comprising:
a turbojet;
a suspension pylon; and
a plurality of engine suspensions inserted between the suspension pylon and the turbojet, wherein the plurality of engine suspensions comprise a first engine forward suspension and a second engine forward suspension fixed to a fan case of the turbojet and arranged symmetrically about a plane defined by a longitudinal axis of the turbojet and its vertical direction, the first and second engine forward suspensions each configured to resist forces applied along a longitudinal direction of the turbojet and along its vertical direction, and wherein the plurality of suspensions further comprise an engine aft suspension configured to resist forces applied along the vertical direction of the turbojet.
12 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the engine aft suspension is configured to only resist forces applied along the vertical direction of the turbojet, and wherein the plurality of engine suspensions further comprise a third engine forward suspension fixed to the fan case so that the plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the turbojet and its vertical direction passes through the third engine forward suspension, the third engine forward suspension configured to resist only forces applied along the transverse direction of the turbojet.
13 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 12 , wherein the first, second, and third engine forward suspensions are fixed onto a peripheral annular part of the case.
14 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein a plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the turbojet and its transverse direction passes through the first and second engine forward suspensions.
15 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the engine aft suspension is configured to also resist forces applied along the transverse direction of the turbojet.
16 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the engine aft suspension is fixed to a central case of the turbojet.
17 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the engine aft suspension is fixed to an exhaust case of the turbojet.
18 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the engine aft suspension is fixed at a junction between a central case of the turbojet and its exhaust case.
19 . An assembly for an aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the plurality of engine suspensions form a statically determinate mounting system.
20 . An aircraft comprising at least one engine assembly according to claim 11 .
