An actuating device of a pump of a fuel pumping system of an engine, including a motor, a generator, an inverter, a switching member and a control member, the motor including a first rotor coupled to the pump and a first stator including at least one input stator winding, the generator including a second rotor coupled to a drive shaft of the engine, and a second stator including at least one output stator winding, the control member being configured to control the switching member in order to selectively connect each input stator winding: to a corresponding output stator winding if a speed of the engine is higher than or equal to a predetermined speed; to a corresponding output of the inverter, otherwise.

A propulsion channel for aircraft at least one first dual-fed polyphase asynchronous rotating electric machine configured to be mechanically coupled to a turbine engine. The propulsion channel further includes at least one second polyphase rotating electric machine electrically coupled to the first asynchronous rotating electric machine, and a control and storage module configured to control the first polyphase asynchronous rotating electric machine. The module is connected to the first dual-feed polyphase asynchronous rotating electric machine as well as to the at least second polyphase rotating electric machine. The at least second polyphase rotating electric machine includes a polyphase synchronous rotating electric machine with permanent magnet.
