A cooling system for an engine of an aircraft of a having hybrid-electric propulsion system including a nacelle body including a bottom cooling air intake disposed below a propeller hub for supplying air to an oil-air cooler, wherein the bottom cooling air intake includes a splitter dividing the bottom cooling air intake into a first channel and a second channel.

Cooling system configurations for an aircraft having hybrid-electric propulsion system

An engine assembly includes a propulsor, a gearbox, an engine, a gas turbine engine, and an electric control assembly. The gearbox includes a gear assembly coupled with the propulsor. The engine includes an air inlet, an exhaust outlet, and an engine output shaft. The engine output shaft is coupled with the gear assembly and configured to drive rotation of the propulsor through the gear assembly. The gas turbine engine includes a first rotational assembly, a compressor section, a turbine section, and a combustor. The compressor section is connected to the air inlet. The combustor is connected to the exhaust outlet. The combustor is configured to direct a combustion gas through the turbine section to drive rotation of the first rotational assembly. The electric control assembly includes a first electric motor. The first electric motor is coupled with the gear assembly. The first electric motor is configured to selectively apply a rotational force to the gear assembly to further drive rotation of the propulsor.

Engine assembly for an aircraft propulsion system

A hybrid-electric powertrain system for aircraft includes a gearbox having a first rotary shaft for output to drive an air mover for aircraft thrust. The system includes a first prime mover connected by a second rotary shaft to the gearbox for power input to the gearbox. Further, the system includes a second prime mover connected by a third rotary shaft to the gearbox. The second prime mover can have a hollow core, and at least one of the first and second rotary shafts passes through the hollow core and the third rotary shaft.
