Claim 0:
1. An electrical machine comprising:
a stator assembly coupled to an engine stator component of a propulsion engine, the stator assembly comprising:
a stator support structure fixedly attached to the engine stator component; and
a stator disposed on a supporting surface of the stator support structure; and

a rotor assembly comprising a rotor support structure disposed radially between a shaft of the propulsion engine and a rotor attached to the rotor support structure such that the rotor is disposed radially inward of the stator, wherein the rotor exchanges rotational energy with the shaft to operate as either an electrical motor or an electrical generator,
wherein the rotor support structure extends in a radial and an axial direction from an end of the shaft to mechanically alter a natural vibration mode of the shaft.
