According to one aspect, a genset includes a gas turbine engine having a low pressure shaft wherein the gas turbine engine is adapted to provide mechanical power to a propulsion type load. The genset further includes a generator having an input power shaft wherein the generator is adapted to receive mechanical power to develop electric power. The genset further includes an output power shaft having a first end coupled to the low pressure shaft of the gas turbine and a second end coupled to the input power shaft of the generator and a plurality of struts wherein the first ends of the plurality of struts are coupled to the gas turbine engine and second ends of the plurality of struts are coupled to the generator at locations substantially aligned with a center of gravity of the generator. A suspension apparatus attaches the gas turbine engine and the generator at mounting locations substantially aligned with a gas turbine engine center of gravity and at mounting locations substantially aligned with the generator center of gravity, respectively.
