Abstract

An electricity generation and propulsion system of an aircraft is provided. The electricity generation and propulsion system includes a fuselage, a hybrid-electric power generation system operably disposed in the fuselage and a ram air turbine (RAT) device. The RAT device is coupled with the hybrid-electric power generation system and is stowable in the fuselage and deployable to an exterior of the fuselage. The RAT device is operable as a RAT when deployed into an airstream that drives rotations of the RAT from which the hybrid-electric power generation system generates electricity, and the RAT device is operable as a propulsor when deployed and driven by the hybrid-electric power generation system.
