Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes, in axial flow sequence, a compressor module, a combustor module, and a turbine module, with a first electric machine being rotationally connected to the turbine module. The first electrical machine is configured to generate a total electrical power PEM1 (W), and the gas turbine engine is configured to generate a total shaft power PSHAFT (W); and a ratio R of:R=(Total⁢Shaft⁢Power=PSHAFT)(Total⁢Electrical⁢Power⁢Generated=PEM⁢1)is in a range of between 0.005 and 0.020.
