Abstract
An electrical generator is housed in an annular cavity between the casing and the propeller shaft of a turboprop, while imposing little or no additional space requirement and with lightweight ancillary equipment. The rotor of the generator is mounted on an autonomous shaft end. A flange of the outer casing is removable in order to access the generator and to enable its easy removal and remounting.
