Patent ID: 7495354

Claim:
A gas turbine engine comprising at least one compressor comprising a compressor stator including a compressor stator housing and stationary compressor guide vanes mounted in said compressor stator housing, said gas turbine compressor further comprising a compressor rotor including a rotor shaft, compressor rotor discs secured to said rotor shaft, compressor rotor blades secured to said compressor rotor discs, said gas turbine compressor further comprising at least one electrical generator including a generator stator allocated to said compressor stator and a generator rotor allocated to said compressor rotor, said generator rotor comprising generator rotor blades integrated into said compressor rotor blades ( 15 ) so that said generator rotor blades and said compressor rotor blades are a unitary rotor structure, said unitary rotor structure comprising pole pieces movable with said unitary rotor structure for cooperation with said generator stator when said unitary rotor structure rotates.
