Abstract
A propulsion system for use with an aircraft includes a gas turbine engine, an electric power system, and at least one propulsor. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The electric power system includes a generator coupled to the gas turbine engine to generate electrical energy, power electronics connected to the generator to receive the electrical energy from the generator, and a motor configured to produce rotational energy in response to receiving electric energy from the power electronics. The propulsor is configured to use rotational energy received from the motor of the electric power system to generate thrust for propelling the aircraft.
