Abstract

Various aspects of the techniques are directed to a turbine engine comprising a core section, a fan, and an electrical generator. The core section comprises at least one compressor and at least one turbine that both rotate about a longitudinal axis of the turbine engine, wherein the at least one turbine drives at least one spool, and an oil sump positioned to collect oil used to lubricate rotational elements for one or more of the at least one compressor and the at least one turbine. The fan rotated by the at least one spool. The electrical generator integrated into the core section and positioned outside of the oil sump, wherein the electrical generator comprises a rotor rotated via the at least one spool about the longitudinal axis, and a stator configured to electromagnetically interact with the rotor to generate power.
