Abstract:
Hybrid turbine engines and methods of operating the same are disclosed herein. The hybrid turbine engines include a first thrust-generating device that includes a turbine with a turbine rotary shaft and a clutch, which includes a clutch input, which is operatively coupled to the turbine rotary shaft, and a clutch output. The clutch defines an engaged state and a disengaged state. The hybrid turbine engines also include a rotary electric machine including a machine rotary shaft that is operatively coupled to the clutch output, a second thrust-generating device that is operatively coupled to the machine rotary shaft, and an electric power system. The rotary electric machine is configured to selectively receive an electric power output from the electric power system, such as to selectively produce additional thrust, and to selectively receive in an input torque from the machine rotary shaft, such as to selectively produce additional electric power.

Claim (Index 1):
A hybrid turbine engine, comprising:\n a first thrust-generating device that includes a turbine, wherein the turbine includes a turbine rotary shaft; a clutch including a clutch input operatively coupled to the turbine rotary shaft, and a clutch output, wherein the clutch defines: (i) an engaged state in which the clutch input is rotationally coupled to the clutch output; and (ii) a disengaged state in which the clutch input is rotationally decoupled from the clutch output; wherein the clutch includes a selectively actuated clutch, wherein the selectively actuated clutch includes an engagement structure configured to selectively transition the clutch between the engaged state and the disengaged state; a rotary electric machine including a machine rotary shaft operatively coupled to the clutch output; a second thrust-generating device that is operatively coupled to the machine rotary shaft; and an electric power system; wherein the rotary electric machine is configured to: (i) selectively receive an electric power input from the electric power system and generate an output torque to rotate the second thrust-generating device, via the machine rotary shaft, responsive to receipt of the electric power input; and (ii) selectively receive an input torque from the machine rotary shaft, to generate an electric power output responsive to receipt of the input torque, and to provide the electric power output to the electric power system.
