Abstract
A gas turbine engine nacelle assembly (10) comprises a pylon (13) for mounting the assembly on an aircraft, a nacelle (11) and a gas turbine engine (12) enclosed within the nacelle (11). Part (15) of the nacelle (11) is structurally integral with the pylon (13) and has the remainder of the nacelle (11) attached to it. The nacelle part (15) additionally provides at least partial support for the gas turbine engine (12). The arrangement provides weight savings.
