A. System FunctionThe mounts:
- Hold the powerplant (but let it move in given limits)
- Transmit the thrust of the powerplant to the aircraft
- Decrease the vibration between the aircraft structure and the powerplant
B. System Components (Ref. Fig.1)
The primary components of the system are the:
- Front vibration isolators
- Rear vibration isolators
C. System OperationEach vibration isolator connects one mounting position on the engine, with its equivalent mounting position on the aircraft structure.
