Reconfigurable permanent magnet electrical machines and aircraft power and propulsion systems including the electrical machines. An aircraft power and propulsion system includes: a gas turbine engine; DC electrical network; permanent magnet electrical machine including a rotor drivingly coupled to a spool of the engine, and a stator including windings controllably switchable between a star and a delta configuration; an AC-DC power electronics converter, an AC side is connected to terminals of the stator windings and a DC side is connected to the DC electrical network; an additional electrical power source connected to and controllable to supply electrical power to the DC electrical network; and a control system configured to control the switching of the stator windings between the configurations and to control the additional electrical power source to supply electrical power to the DC electrical network during a time interval when the stator is being switched between the configurations.
