A propulsor and mount arrangement comprises a propulsor rotor (36) and a fan casing (38) surrounding the propulsor rotor (36). The fan casing (38) receives two side mounts (40, 50) and a thrust link (44) pivotally attached to the fan casing (38) at a location that will be within 10° of a vertically lowermost location when the propulsor (24) is mounted on an aircraft (20), and the side mounts (40, 50) being at circumferentially opposed positions, and within a lower 270° when the propulsor (24) is mounted on an aircraft (20). At least a portion of both the side mounts (40, 50), and a pivot point (48) connect the thrust link (44) to the fan casing (38) in a common plane (P) defined perpendicular to a rotational axis of the propulsor rotor (36).
