Abstract

A damage-tolerance attachment system for an aircraft engine includes first and second attachment devices attaching the aircraft engine to a pylon fixedly attached to the aircraft, and a third backup attachment device including a first portion attached to the pylon and a second portion attached to the engine, the first and second portions connected together loosely so as not to disrupt an isostasy of the first and second attachment devices.
