Abstract:
An gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes, in axial flow sequence, a compressor module, a combustor module, and a turbine module, together with a first electrical machine rotationally connected to the turbine module. The combustor module has a combustor volume V (cm3). In use, at a full power condition, the gas turbine engine has a maximum corrected core flow Q (m3/sec), and a ratio T of:
T
=
(
Maximum
Corrected
Core
Flow
=

)
(

)
is in a range of between 450 and 2,500.
