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 includes a low pressure turbine that drives a low pressure spool that rotates about a longitudinal axis of the turbine engine, a high pressure turbine that drives a high pressure spool, and a compressor rotated by the high pressure spool. The fan is connected to the low pressure spool and rotated by the low pressure spool. Rotation of the fan may provide thrust to a vehicle that includes the turbine engine. The electrical generator is positioned between the fan and the compressor. The electrical generator comprises a rotor concentric with and rotated via the low pressure spool, the rotor configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis, and a stator positioned radially within the rotor and configured to electromagnetically interact with the rotor to generate power.
