[0043] The three-point shackle 54 comprises two plates 54.1, 54.2 that are substantially parallel to each other and slightly spaced apart. Each plate 54.1, 54.2 is approximately triangular and has three through holes for housing the connecting pins A56.1 to A56.3, positioned at the vertices of each plate 54.1, 54.2.

The first and second ends 66.1, 66.2 are positioned in a substantially vertical plane.
[0053] As illustrated in [Fig. 4], this rear damping engine mount 66 is configured to provide load transfer in the horizontal and vertical transverse directions Y, Z. In one configuration, the rear damping engine mount 66 is configured to provide load transfer only in the horizontal and vertical transverse directions Y, Z. In another configuration, the rear damping engine mount 66 is configured to provide load transfer only in the horizontal transverse direction Y.
[0054] The rear shock-absorbing engine attachment 66 comprises at least one body 68 connected to at least one element among the reactor core 40 and the primary structure 42 by at least one pivot axis positioned in a longitudinal and vertical plane.
[0055] According to a first embodiment shown in [Fig. 8], the rear shock-absorbing engine mount 66 comprises a body 68 connected to the reactor core 40 by a first linkage 70 comprising at least one first linkage axis A70 positioned in a longitudinal and vertical plane, and to the primary structure 42 by a second linkage 72 comprising at least one second linkage axis A72 positioned in a longitudinal and vertical plane. The first and second linkage axes A70, A72 are substantially parallel to each other.
[0056] According to one configuration, the body 68 is a three-point shackle comprising at least one approximately triangular plate 74 having first, second, and third through holes 74.1, 74.2, 74.3 positioned at the three vertices of the triangular shape.

The shock-absorbing rear motor mount 66 comprises first, second, and third connecting pins A70, A72, A72' housed respectively in the first, second, and third through holes 74.1, 74.2, 74.3, which have Each has a cylindrical body, at least one first lug 76, integral with the primary structure 42, which has an opening to accommodate the first connecting shaft A70, and at least one second lug 78, integral with the reactor core 40, which has two openings to accommodate the second and third connecting shafts A72, A72'. Thus, the first connecting shaft A70 connects the plate 74 and the first lug 76. The second and third connecting shafts A72, A72' connect the plate 74 and the second lug 78.
[0057] The first, second, third connecting axes A70, A72, A72' are substantially parallel to each other and each positioned in a longitudinal and vertical plane.
[0058] According to this first embodiment, the rear shock-absorbing engine mount 66 is configured to ensure the transfer of forces along the horizontal and vertical transverse directions Y, Z.
[0059] To obtain a damping effect, the rear damping motor mount 66 includes at least one elastomer ring 80 interposed between one of the first, second and third connecting axes A70, A72, A72' and the body 68. According to one arrangement, the rear damping motor mount 66 includes at least one elastomer ring 80 interposed between each of the first, second and third connecting axes A70, A72, A72' and the body 68.
[0060] Each ring 80 has a stiffness depending on the desired damping effect. To give an order of magnitude, a ring 80 has a thickness (distance separating the inner wall in contact with a connecting shaft and the outer wall in contact with the body 68) of between 10 and 40 mm.
[0061] According to a second embodiment shown in [Fig. 9], the rear shock-absorbing engine mount 66 comprises a body 68' connected to the primary structure 42 by a first link 82 and to the reactor core 40 by a second link 84 comprising at least first and second connecting axes A84, A84' each approximately positioned in a longitudinal and vertical plane. The first and second connecting axes A84, A84' are substantially parallel to each other.
[0062] According to one configuration, the body 68' comprises a base 86.1 having a contact face F86.1 held against the primary structure 42, a cylindrical spigot-type pin 86.2 projecting from the contact face F86.1, and first and second arms 86.3, 86.4 forming a flared V towards the reactor core 40 and comprising first and second through holes 86.5, 86.6 respectively for housing the first and second connecting shafts A84, A84'. In addition, the rear shock-absorbing engine mount 66 comprises a housing 88, provided in the primary structure 42, configured to fit snugly the cylindrical spigot-type pin 86.2 and at least one tab 90, integral with the reactor core 40, which has first and second holes 90.1 and 90.2 are used to house the first and second A84 and A84' connecting axes, respectively. These axes connect the 68' body and the 40 reactor core.
[0063] According to one embodiment, the first and second arms 86.3, 86.4 are configured to achieve a damping effect through a design optimized for stiffness along the three directions X, Y, and Z. In addition, or alternatively, the rear damping motor mount 66 includes at least one elastomer ring interposed between one of the first and second connecting axes A84, A84' and the body 68'. According to one arrangement, the rear damping motor mount 66 includes at least one elastomer ring 80 interposed between each of the first and second connecting axes A84, A84' and the body 68'.
[0064] According to this configuration, the cylindrical spigot-type tenon 86.2 of the body 68' and the housing 88 of the primary structure 42 essentially ensure the transfer of shear forces (positioned in an approximately horizontal plane) between the body 68' and the primary structure 42. In addition, the rear shock-absorbing engine mount 66 includes a retaining system 86.7 (such as bolts inserted into sleeves, for example) configured to hold the base 86.1 of the body 68' against the primary structure 42 and essentially ensure the transfer of tensile forces oriented approximately vertically. This arrangement makes it possible to separate the transfer of shear forces positioned in a horizontal plane from that of tensile forces, oriented vertically.
[0065] Alternatively, the first link 82 comprises only vertical connecting elements (such as bolts) which indifferently take up shear and tensile forces.
[0066] According to one arrangement, the rear shock-absorbing engine attachment 66 includes a waiting fail-safe link 92 of the English type, connecting the body 68' and the reactor core 40, configured not to generate a load path when the first and second link axes A84, A84' are in working order and to generate an additional load path only in the event of failure of at least one of the first and second link axes A84, A84'.
[0067] According to this second embodiment, the rear damping engine mount 66 is configured to ensure the transfer of forces along the longitudinal, horizontal transverse and vertical directions X, Y, Z and by combination of the torsional moment Mx.
[0068] Regardless of the embodiment, the propulsion assembly comprises a shock-absorbing engine mount 66 having a first end 66.1 connected to the primary structure 42 at an anchorage area offset rearward relative to the rear anchorage point PA of the engine mount system 46, and a second end 66.2 connected to the rear portion 40.3 of the reactor core. This engine mount rear damping 66 forms a force path which includes at least one elastically deformable element to absorb by deformation part of the forces passing between the rear part 40.3 of the reactor core 40 and the primary structure 42. This elastically deformable element may be a ring, a sleeve or any other intercalated element.
[0069] This damping rear engine mount 66 generates a filtering force path that drains only the inertial forces originating solely from the rear section 40.3 of the reactor core 40, in which high- and low-pressure turbines are located. Thus, the damping rear engine mount 66 filters out significant forces while absorbing less significant forces, such as the weight of the rear section 40.3 of the reactor core 40.
