An aircraft turbine engine includes a gas generator having a longitudinal axis (A), a fan which is located at an upstream end of the gas generator and which is configured to rotate about the axis, and an electric machine which has a generally annular shape. The electric machine is mounted coaxially downstream of the fan and has a rotor which is coupled in terms of rotation to the fan, and a stator which is connected to an electronic power circuit by at least one rigid electroconductive bar.

A turbine and a turbine-generator device for use in electricity generation. The turbine has a universal design and so may be relatively easily modified for use in connection with generators having a rated power output in the range of 50 KW to 5 MW. Such modifications are achieved, in part, through use of a modular turbine cartridge built up of discrete rotor and stator plates sized for the desired application with turbine brush seals chosen to accommodate radial rotor movements from the supported generator. The cartridge may be installed and removed from the turbine relatively easily for maintenance or rebuilding. The rotor housing is designed to be relatively easily machined to dimensions that meet desired operating parameters.

A starter-generator module for a gas turbine engine includes an inner stator portion with an armature defining a rotation axis and an outer rotor portion disposed about the rotation axis. The outer rotor portion includes a permanent magnet and a gear teeth member. The permanent magnet is disposed about the rotation axis and the gear teeth member is defined on the outer rotor portion such that the gear teeth member transmits rotational energy to an accessory gearbox in a start mode and receives rotational energy from the accessory gearbox in a generate mode.

A gas turbine engine includes a low speed spool mechanically interconnecting a low pressure turbine and at least one of a fan and a prop, a high speed spool mechanically interconnecting a high pressure turbine and a high pressure compressor, and an epicyclic gear system mechanically coupled to the high speed spool. The gas turbine engine also includes a low pressure compressor mechanically coupled to the high speed spool via the epicyclic gear system. The low pressure compressor may be mechanically independent of the low speed spool. The gas turbine engine may include a plurality of motor-generators for transferring power between the high speed spool and the low pressure compressor.
