Abstract
A self-aligning support incorporates a support attachment fitting and a rotatable pin assembly having a primary load pin coupling the support attachment fitting to an attachment support, and inboard and outboard attachment claws engaged to end portions of the primary load pin. The rotatable pin assembly is configured to rotate relative to the support attachment fitting. At least one fuse pin extends through the primary load pin to limit translation of the primary load pin relative to the inboard and outboard claws.
