This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250121945 titled 'REVERSE FLOW GAS TURBINE ENGINE HAVING ELECTRIC MACHINE
Original Abstract Submitted
an aircraft engine assembly includes a gas turbine engine having an intake channel configured to receive an incoming flow of air and form an intake flow of air, the intake channel configured to turn the received incoming flow of air from an incoming flow direction to a first axial direction of the gas turbine engine, the incoming flow direction reverse of the first axial direction, and an electric machine coupled with the low pressure shaft and located at the aft end of the gas turbine engine proximate the intake channel, the electric machine in heat exchange communication with the intake flow of air such that the electric machine transfers heat to the incoming flow of air within the intake channel when the electric machine is operated.
