ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a gas turbine engine having a rotatable turbine shaft with an electric machine mounted to the shaft. The method includes providing supplemental acceleration and/or deceleration of the turbine shaft of the gas turbine engine through the use of the electric machine operated as an electric motor and/or an electric generator, in order to avoid an undesirable engine speed range during engine operation.
