    摘要: A method of distributing power within a gas turbine engine is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method includes driving a high pressure turbine having a first stage and a second stage with an exhaust stream from a combustor, the first stage connected to a high pressure turbine first stage spool and the second stage connected to a high pressure turbine second stage spool; driving a high pressure compressor connected to a high pressure compressor spool via a differential system, the differential system having a first stage input gear connected to the high pressure turbine first stage spool, a second stage input gear connected to the high pressure turbine second stage spool and an output gear assembly connected to the high pressure compressor spool; and selectively applying an auxiliary input power into at least one of the high pressure compressor spool and the high pressure turbine.

    摘要: Hybrid electric propulsion systems are described. The systems include a gas turbine engine having low and high speed spools, each spool having a respective compressor and turbine. A mechanical power transmission is configured to at least one of extract power from and supply power to at least one of the low speed spool and the high speed spool, an electric machine is configured to augment rotational power of at least one of the spools, and a controller is operable to determine a rotational speed of the low speed spool, determine a rotational speed of the high speed spool, determine if a predetermined operational zone of operation based on the determined rotational speeds is present, and when a predetermined operational zone is determined, control a power augmentation of at least one spool to limit dwell operation of the gas turbine engine within the predetermined operational zone.
