A wing of an aircraft has a mass, for example an engine, secured to the wing by a pylon such that an imaginary line between the center of gravity of the mass and the region of the wing to which the pylon is attached is at an angle to the vertical, the force and the moment applied to the wing by the

A wing of an aircraft has a mass, for example an engine, secured to the wing by a pylon such that an imaginary line between the center of gravity of the mass and the region of the wing to which the pylon is attached is at an angle to the vertical, the force and the moment applied to the wing by the mass and the pylon being applied to the wing through at least one attachment member. The force and the moment can be applied to the wing through first and second attachment members respectively.

In an aircraft or a spacecraft, the improvement which comprises the combination of a wing, a pylon, and a mass secured to said wing by the pylon in a manner such that an imaginary line between the centre of gravity of the mass and the region of the wing to which the pylon is attached is at an angle

In an aircraft or a spacecraft, the improvement which comprises the combination of a wing, a pylon, and a mass secured to said wing by the pylon in a manner such that an imaginary line between the centre of gravity of the mass and the region of the wing to which the pylon is attached is at an angle to a vertical plane extending longitudinally of the aircraft or spacecraft when the aircraft or spacecraft is in straight, horizontal flight, so that the mass and the pylon apply a force and a moment to the wing, wherein the moment is applied to the wing so as to alleviate a moment in the wing produced by lift on the wing, and wherein the force and the moment are applied to the wing through two or more attachment members, with at least one attachment member applying only one of the force and the moment.
