English term or phrase: pit pin
Bonjour,

j'ai énormément de mal avec cette phrase qui décrit comment les moteurs de l'Eurofighter Typhoon tiennent en place :

"Once the engine is in place, it is essentially held into the aircraft purely and simply by one large nut on the top of the aircraft and ***two small pit pins*** that hang on to arms that hold off the rear fuse. And that’s it, that is purely it that holds the aircraft in."

Merci !
N. B. : Je vais ouvrir une autre question pour la fin de la phrase.

Explanation:
d'après ces 2 réfs ca m'a l'air approprié

Ref 1 prouve que ce dispositif intervient bien dans les moteurs en aéronautique

Je pense que pit désigne plus l'emplacement du goujon plus qu'un type particulier (enfin là j'en suis moins sur..)

Si mchd a raison, alors ce serait un "goujon de pitot" j'imagine...
