Claim 10:
11. 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 directly disposed radially between a shaft of the propulsion engine and a rotor attached to the rotor support structure, wherein:
the rotor is disposed radially inward of the stator such that the stator assembly circumferentially surrounds the rotor,

the rotor support structure extends in a radial and an axial direction from the end of the shaft to mechanically alter a natural vibration mode of the shaft, and
at least one of:
the rotor rotates in conjunction with the shaft to generate a power signal, and
the electrical machine receives power from an external source to provide rotational energy to the shaft.
