Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a first spool including a first turbine, and a first tower shaft engaged to the first spool. A second spool includes a second turbine, and a second tower shaft is engaged to the second spool. A superposition gearbox includes a sun gear, a plurality of intermediate gears engaged to the sun gear, and is supported in a carrier and a ring gear circumscribing the intermediate gears. The first tower shaft or the second tower shaft drives one of the intermediate gears. A drive motor is engaged to drive the sun gear, an inner electric motor, a stator disposed radially outside of the inner electric motor, and an outer electric motor disposed radially outside the stator. A first load on the first spool and a second load on the second spool is adjusted by operation of at least one of the inner electric motor and the outer electric motor.

Abstract: A hybrid gas turbine engine comprises a turbine, a compressor, and a gear system that is driven by the turbine where the gear system includes a sun gear, a ring gear and a plurality of planet gears, where the ring gear has a ring gear radius of RRing gear and the sun gear has a sun gear radius of RSun gear such that the gear system provides a reduction ratio of RRing gear/RSun gear. A fan is driven by the ring gear, and a generator is driven by the ring gear and provides a generator output signal. A power circuit receives the generator output signal and provides a gain RRing gear/RSun gear to the generator output signal and provides a gain signal indicative thereof to an electrical load.
