Abstract
The mounting system can be used in mounting a turbofan gas turbine engine having a nacelle including two halves, each half having a hinged end hingedly connected to the pylon and a free end lockingly engageable with the engine structure. The mounting system can include a primary connection connecting the engine structure to the pylon, and a flexible connection provided between the hinged connections and the pylon, the flexible connection being elastically deformed when a significant force is exerted in a transversal plane upon one of the halves in the closed position.
