Turbomachine core coupling assembly

A coupling assembly for an engine core of a turbomachine is provided. The coupling assembly comprises a duct (114) having a substantially circular shape and surrounding the engine core (112), and a plurality of coupling struts (116), each coupling strut extending only in a substantially vertical direction relative to the direction of gravity when the engine core is at a rest position with zero pitch and zero roll, each of the plurality of coupling struts (116) coupling the engine core to the duct.
