The present invention relates to an engine mount assembly for supporting an aircraft engine in aft-cantilevered position beneath the aircraft wing. The assembly includes a pair forward engine mounts positioned on opposite sides of an integrally formed yoke member wrapped about the upper half of the engine casing. Each side of the yoke is preferably configured as an A-shaped frame member with the bottom portions joining each other and the pylon. To prevent "backbone bending" of the engine trunnion assembly, the forward engine mounts supported at opposite ends of the yoke engage the casing along its centerline. The trunnion assembly is preferably constructed of high strength titanium machined and/or forged.

[ Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by letters patent is as follows:] [1.] An engine support system for constraining an aircraft engine casing against vertical and/or axial thrust movements relative to the aircraft wing, and comprising:a pylon box assembly attached to a bottom surface of wing for supporting an aircraft engine in an aft-cantilevered position beneath the wing;a yoke assembly having an upper portion attached to the pylon box assembly and including a pair of opposite side portions wrapped about opposite sides of the engine casing, wherein each side portion of the yoke assembly forms an A-shaped frame member with the bottom portions of the two A-shaped frame members joined to one another and also joined to the pylon box assembly at a location between the opposite ends of the pylon box; anda separate trunnion assembly attached to each side portion of the yoke, wherein each trunnion assembly includes a forward engine mount engaging the engine casing along its centerline.
