Abstract
A jet engine suspension includes a master component for attachment, fixed to an aircraft pylon. In the event of breakage of the master component and in the situation where the fixing screws are no longer able to transmit force, a peg is provided which resists transmitted loads such that the master component collapses until an upper shoulder rests on the pylon and supports the master component. The peg is free of dynamic stress in normal service and there is absolutely no risk of it cracking in fatigue.
