Claim:
1. A method of assembling a starter/generator in a gas-turbine engine, the method comprising: coupling a rotor and a stator of the starter/generator such that the rotor is rotatable with respect to the stator to drive the rotor when the starter/generator is electrically powered and to produce electrical power when the rotor is rotated; securing the stator to a bearing support; coupling the starter/generator to a low pressure shaft of the gas-turbine engine by installing the bearing support over a bearing assembly secured to a first end of the low pressure shaft; inserting the low pressure shaft through a high pressure shaft of the gas-turbine engine with the first end of the low pressure shaft protruding from a first end of the high pressure shaft, and positioning the starter/generator in proximity of the first end of the high pressure shaft; and drivingly engaging the rotor to the high pressure shaft.
