Abstract:
A gas turbine engine for an aircraft comprises, in axial flow sequence, a compressor module, a combustor module, and a turbine module, with a first electric machine being rotationally connected to the turbine module. The first electrical machine is configured to generate a maximum electrical power PEM1 (W), and the gas turbine engine is configured to generate a maximum dry thrust T (N); and a ratio S of:
S
=
(
Maximum
Electrical
Power
Generated
=

)
(
Maximum
Dry
Thrust
=
T
)
is in a range of between 2.0 and 10.0.
