Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure is directed to an aircraft power generation system including a reverse Brayton cycle system, a gas turbine engine, and a gearbox. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a turbine section, and an engine shaft. The compressor section is arranged in serial flow arrangement with the turbine section. The engine shaft is rotatable with at least a portion of the compressor section and with at least a portion of the turbine section. The reverse Brayton cycle system includes a compressor, a driveshaft, a turbine, and a first heat exchanger. The driveshaft is rotatable with the compressor or the turbine, and the compressor, the first heat exchanger, and the turbine are in serial flow arrangement. The gearbox is configured to receive mechanical energy from the engine shaft and transmit mechanical energy to the reverse Brayton cycle system through the driveshaft.
