GE Jet Engine Bracket

I submit my entry for the GE Jet Engine Bracket Challenge, despite having limited time due to a busy schedule. Nonetheless, I'm optimistic about its potential, as it weighs only 1.14lbs (517 grams), representing a 75% reduction compared to the original design of 4.52 lbs/2050 grams. In simulations, my entry exhibited impressive performance under various load conditions: Load Condition 1 (8000 lb vertical) yielded 118 ksi; Load Condition 2 (8500 lb horizontal), 105 ksi; Load Condition 3 (9500 lb at a 42-degree angle from the vertical), 91.2 ksi; and Load Condition 4 (5000 lb in the horizontal plane), 100 ksi.
