  • Patent number: 11777370
    Abstract: An aeronautical turbogenerator for hybrid electric propulsion includes a heat engine and an electrical generator coupled mechanically to the heat engine and including a rotor and a stator, the rotor extending in an axial direction and including a common magnetized rotor yoke comprising a plurality of permanent magnets defining at least three axially distributed movable annular rings, the stator including a magnetic stator yoke comprising a plurality of electrical windings defining axially and/or circumferentially distributed stationary sectors, at least two stationary sectors, one of which covers axially at least two movable annular rings, being arranged angularly so as not to mutually coincide and thus deliver at least two distinct and independent voltage levels.

  • Publication number: 20230246573
    Abstract: A propulsion channel for aircraft at least one first dual-fed polyphase asynchronous rotating electric machine configured to be mechanically coupled to a turbine engine. The propulsion channel further includes at least one second polyphase rotating electric machine electrically coupled to the first asynchronous rotating electric machine, and a control and storage module configured to control the first polyphase asynchronous rotating electric machine. The module is connected to the first dual-feed polyphase asynchronous rotating electric machine as well as to the at least second polyphase rotating electric machine. The at least second polyphase rotating electric machine includes a polyphase synchronous rotating electric machine with permanent magnet.
