The engine includes a fan shaft (14) with a fan (12), and an electric motor/generator (24) mounted for rotation therewith. The method includes shutting down the engine (10) while allowing the engine (10) to windmill, operating the electric motor/generator (24) to rotate the shaft (14) at a determined windmilling speed which is desired for the fan shaft (14), and operating the engine (10) at the desired windmilling speed for substantially a remainder of the aircraft flight.</p> |
