Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes: first spool including first compressor and first turbine drivingly coupled by first main shaft; second spool including a second compressor and second turbine drivingly coupled by second main shaft; combustion equipment; electrical machine arrangement including: first rotor drivingly coupled to first main shaft and carrying array of rotor elements; second rotor drivingly coupled to second main shaft and carrying array of rotor elements; and stator arrangement including array of stator coils arranged around an axis, axis being coaxial with an axis of rotation of first rotor and an axis of rotation of second rotor. Stator arrangement is axially translatable relative to first and second rotors, between: a first axial position in which array of stator coils interacts with array of rotor elements of first rotor; and a second axial position in which array of stator coils interacts with array of rotor elements of second rotor.
