A drive shaft including an inner shaft having a first end that is adapted to be connectable to a first connecting shaft that is rotated by torque applied by an external electrical machine, and a second end that is adapted to be connectable to a second connecting shaft. A hollow outer shaft, coaxial with the inner shaft, defines at least part of a rotor assembly of an associated electrical machine. The outer shaft is adapted to be releasably connected to the inner shaft so that the drive shaft is selectively configurable in a first arrangement for normal operating conditions where the outer shaft is connected to the inner shaft for rotation therewith, and a second arrangement where the outer shaft is not connected to the inner shaft.
