Abstract

Device for aircraft thrust reovery capable of linking a turboshaft engine and an engine strut.A device for thrust recovery (16) linking a turboshaft engine to an aircraft engine strut comprising an attachment fitting (22) fixed to an engine strut, a control bar (38) articulated on the attachment fittings (22) and two coupling rods (24) linking the control bar (38) to the central engine casing, almost along the longitudinal axis of the latter. Links with play are envisaged between each of the coupling rods (24) and the attachment fitting (22), to ensure transmission of thrust forces in the event of rupture of one of the parts of the device. These links with play comprise pivoting axes (48) which intersect the longitudinal axes of the corresponding coupling rods (24).
