Abstract

A system and method of converting engines on a turboprop aircraft, including removing an existing engine and associated propeller from an aircraft fuselage, installing an engine mount adapter assembly to the fuselage, and installing a replacement engine to the engine mount adapter assembly, whereby at least some portions of the replacement engine are attached to the engine mount adapter assembly for structural support.

IPC Classes  ?

• B64D 27/26 - Aircraft characterised by construction of power-plant mounting
• B64D 27/14 - Aircraft characterised by the type or position of power plants of gas-turbine type within, or attached to, fuselages
• B64D 35/02 - Transmitting power from power plants to propellers or rotorsArrangements of transmissions specially adapted for specific power plants
• B64D 45/00 - Aircraft indicators or protectors not otherwise provided for

Abstract

An aircraft engine mounting system to retrofit an aircraft engine from one aircraft type to another in a manner suitable for approved flight. The system includes a circular member having longitudinal securement members extending therefrom to attach the circular member to an inner surface of the fuselage of an aircraft. The circular member in turn has mounting members configured to receive an aircraft engine to retrofit the engine from a first aircraft to a second aircraft.
