A rotating electric machine (10), especially multi-phase synchronous generator, comprises a rotor (11) rotating around an axis, and a stator (12) concentrically surrounding said rotor (11), said stator (12) being equipped with a stator winding (16), which comprises a plurality of coils, characterised in that each of said coils is wound in a series of adjacent single coils around a respective series of adjacent teeth (14) distributed along the inner circumference of a laminated stator core (13) and extending in axial direction, whereby all single coils of each coil are wound in an uninterrupted fashion with one continuous cable (17).
