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