Abstract
A hybrid aircraft power plant includes an air mover for propelling an aircraft, a gas turbine engine operable to drive the air mover, and an electric machine operable as a motor to drive the air mover. The gas turbine engine includes a turbine disk for extracting energy from a stream of combustion gas and an exhaust duct defining: an exhaust passage for conveying the stream of combustion gas from the turbine disk; and a cavity disposed radially inward of the exhaust passage. A shaft drivingly connects the turbine disk with the electric machine and extends inside the cavity defined by the exhaust duct. A fan is drivingly connected to the shaft and operable to circulate cooling air inside the cavity of the exhaust duct.
