A strut for mounting an engine and isolating the vibration of the engine from the framework of an aircraft to which it is attached. An engine mounting strut (32) includes a forward spar (40), which extends outwardly from a rib (34) of an aircraft (20). An aft spar (62) similarly extends outward from a rib (38) and is pivotally connected to a box beam (42) in a vibration isolation mount (78). The pivotal axis of mount (78) is generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the box beam. A vibration isolation arm (44) extends from a pivotal connection (82) having an axis generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the box beam and is connected to the forward spar at two spaced-apart vibration isolation mounts (46 and 84). The spars are enclosed with an aerodynamic skin (56) forming a torque box 48, to which are attached forward and aft fairings (58).
