Claim 0:
1. An aircraft defining a prime stability axis, the aircraft comprising:
a turbo-generator having a gas turbine engine and an electric generator operatively coupled with the gas turbine engine, the turbo-generator defining a rotation axis about which a spool of the gas turbine engine is rotatable;
one or more propulsors, each of the one or more propulsors being electrically-driven;
a pivot mount operatively coupled with the turbo-generator, the pivot mount being operable to adjust the rotation axis of the turbo-generator relative to the prime stability axis of the aircraft; and
a controller configured to perform the following:
receive data indicating an orientation of the rotation axis of the turbo-generator and an orientation of the prime stability axis of the aircraft; and
cause the pivot mount to adjust the rotation axis of the turbo-generator relative to the prime stability axis of the aircraft based at least in part on the orientation of the rotation axis of the turbo-generator relative to the orientation of the prime stability axis of the aircraft.
