ELECTRICAL MACHINES FOR INTEGRATION INTO A PROPULSION ENGINE
An electrical machine includes a stator assembly coupled to an engine stator component of a propulsion engine. The stator assembly includes a stator support assembly fixedly attached to the engine stator component and a stator disposed on the stator support structure. An electrical machine shaft is coupled to an end of a shaft of the propulsion engine via an intermediate shaft member extending axially between the end of the shaft and the electrical machine shaft. A bearing support frame extends from the propulsion engine, the bearing support frame defining a bearing cavity in conjunction with the electrical machine shaft. Electrical machine bearings radially extend from the bearing support frame to rotatably contact the electrical machine shaft. A rotor attached to a rotor support structure attached to the electrical machine shaft. The rotor rotates in conjunction with the electrical machine shaft to exchange energy with the shaft of the propulsion engine.
