An aircraft gas turbine engine 100 comprises a fan 130, a compressor 160, a turbine 180, and an exhaust module. The engine comprises a first and second engine mount plane 240, 250. The first and second engine mount planes support the engine in a machine body (282, figure 18). The engine has an axial length L. The first engine mount plane is positioned axially along the engine at a first engine mount plane position 241 being within a range of between 0.24*L to 0.32*L from an inlet face 116 of the engine. The second engine mount plane is positioned axially along the engine at a second engine mount plane position 251 being within a range of between 0.73*L to 0.79*L from the inlet face. Providing the gas turbine engine with a first engine mount plane part-way along the length of the engine, and a second engine mount plane at a rear portion of the engine, makes the process of installing the engine into the machine body easier and more convenient.
