Abstract

A power plant for an aircraft such as a UAV with a gas turbine engine that drives an electric generator to produce electrical power. The electric generator is rotatably supported by two foil bearings. A centrifugal compressor is secured to a forward side of the generator rotor shaft. The centrifugal compressor draws in cooling air that flows through the two foil bearings and between a space formed between the rotor coil and the stator coil of the electric generator to provide for cooling of both foil bearings and the coils of the generator.
