A turbofan engine (20) may comprise an inlet (64) and a fan case (66) coupled to the inlet (64). An engine case (36) may be coupled to the fan case (66) via a vane (70) extending between the fan case (66) and the engine case (36). A strut apparatus (75) may extend from the fan case (66) and limit deflection of the fan case (66). The strut apparatus (75) may comprise a first end (100) proximate the fan case (66), and a second end (102) coupled to at least one of the engine case (36) or a structure for mounting the turbofan engine (20) to an aircraft.
