Abstract

A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a gas turbine engine, an electrical assembly, a powertrain, and a controller. The gas turbine engine includes a rotational structure and a second rotational structure each including a turbine rotor. The electrical assembly includes an electric machine and a control unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the electric machine. The powertrain includes a differential geartrain configured to couple the rotational structure and the second rotational structure together to the electric machine. The controller is connected in communication with the control unit. The controller is configured to maintain a predetermined power transfer ratio between a spool mechanical power transfer of the second rotational structure and an electric machine mechanical power transfer of the electric machine along a rotation speed range of the second rotational structure by controlling an electrical loading of the electric machine with the control unit.
