Abstract
A hybrid electric gas turbine engine includes a fan section having a fan, a turbine section having a turbine drivably connected to the fan through a main shaft that extends along a central longitudinal axis, a gas generating core extending along a first axis that is radially offset from the central longitudinal axis, and an electric motor drivably connected to the main shaft, wherein the electric motor is colinear with the main shaft.
