An aircraft engine mount adapter and method is provided that permits the coupling of an aircraft engine to an aircraft when the pickup points on the engine are incompatible with the location of the mounting pins on the aircraft. The adapter consists of an arcuate shaped member having sufficient lateral curvature so as to be selectively positionable along the length and about the circumference of the engine\s casing. Means for locking onto the mounting pins are disposed along the outer surface of the member. The member has a plurality of flanges which are bolted to flanges extending outwards from the engine\s casing.

An engine mount adapter for coupling an aircraft engine, having an engine casing, to an aircraft wherein the pick up points on the engine are incompatible with the location of the aircraft\s stabilizing pin and thrust pin, comprising; an arcuate shaped member mounted over said engine casing and having sufficient lateral curvature so that said member is selectively positionable along the length and about the circumference of said engine casing, said member having a front edge and a back edge; at least two substantially parallel rails, substantially intermediate said front and back edges and circumferentially disposed about said member, said rails defining a channel therebetween; and a first block disposed in said channel and integral with said rails having means for locking onto said thrust pin; and a second block disposed in said channel and integral with said rails having means for locking onto said stabilizing pin.
