Abstract: An open rotor engine includes a core engine, a plurality of guide vanes positioned within or extending from the core engine; and a pitch change assembly operably coupled to the plurality of guide vanes. The pitch change assembly includes one or more actuators configured to change a pitch angle of respective ones of the plurality of guide vanes, and a plurality of linkage arms that are respectively movable by actuation of at least one of the one or more actuators. The plurality of linkage arms are directly or indirectly coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of guide vanes. The plurality of linkage arms may have a length that differs from one another, and such length may orient a displacement or a range of motion of the respective linkage arm to an envelope of rotation about a guide vane axis that differs as between the plurality of guide vanes.

Abstract: 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.
