Abstract: Gas turbine mounting configurations for backbone bending mitigations are described herein. An example gas turbine engine disclosed herein includes a pylon, an inlet to be subjected to an inlet load along an inlet load axis, a case assembly including a first case portion and a second case portion, a forward mount coupling the first case portion to the pylon, the coupling of the forward mount to the pylon defining a first line of action, an aft mount, and a thrust link coupling the second case portion to the pylon, the thrust link defining a second line of action, an intersection of the first line of action and the second line of action disposed at least one of: (1) on the inlet load axis and the centerline, (2) downstream of the inlet load axis and beneath the centerline, and (3) upstream of the inlet load axis and above the centerline.
