An aircraft engine assembly includes an engine housing 32, a low pressure spool 24 disposed within the engine housing, and a high pressure spool 26 disposed within the engine housing. Also included is a flux-switching machine 40 disposed within the engine housing, the flux-switching machine comprising a rotor 42, a stator 44, a field winding 50 and an armature winding 52, the flux-switching machine configured to generate power for the aircraft power system. Also provided is a method of generating electric energy for an aircraft power system. The method includes energizing a field winding set of a flux-switching machine disposed entirely within an engine housing of the aircraft engine. The method also includes outputting electrical energy to an electrical system of the aircraft with a three phase armature winding of the flux-switching machine to provide electrical power to at least one aircraft component.
