摘要

A mount for mounting a component to a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The mount may include a central portion that attaches to the component, and a flange circumscribing the central portion and extending to the gas turbine engine, the flange including a fusible region that breaks at a predetermined load. A method for protecting a component mounted to a gas turbine engine is also disclosed. The method may include attaching a mount to a casing of the gas turbine engine, the mount including a fusible region that breaks at a predetermined load. The method may further include attaching the component to the mount. The method may further include the fusible region breaking when the mount experiences the predetermined load, detaching the component from the casing of the gas turbine engine.
