    Abstract: A system is described that includes a turbine engine including an engine fan including one or more variable-pitch blades driven by a shaft, which rotates at a rotational speed which depends on a pitch of the one or more variable-pitch blades of the engine fan. The system further includes a generator configured to produce alternating-current (AC) electricity at a particular frequency relative to the rotational speed of the shaft. The system also includes a propulsor, which includes a propulsor motor and a propulsor fan. The propulsor motor is configured to drive, based on the AC electricity produced by the generator, the propulsor fan. The system includes a controller configured to control the particular frequency of the AC electricity by at least controlling the pitch of the one or more variable-pitch blades of the engine fan and thereby the rotational speed of the generator.

    Abstract: A propulsion system and methods are presented. A substantially tubular structure (102) comprises a central axis (104) through a longitudinal geometric center, and a first fan (108) rotates around the central axis, and comprises a first fan hub (110) and first fan blades (112). The fan hub (108) is rotationally coupled to the substantially tubular structure (102), and the first fan blades (112) are coupled to the first fan hub (110) and increase in chord length with increasing distance from the first fan hub (108). A second fan (118) is rotationally coupled to the substantially tubular structure (102) and rotates around the central axis and contra-rotates relative to the first fan (108). Second fan blades (118) are coupled to the second fan hub (120), and a nacelle (124) circumscribing the first fan (108) and the second fan (118) is coupled to and rotates with the first fan (108).
