In this chapter we review the existing technical details regarding to pistol engine/propeller, gas turbine jet engine/gas turbine turbo-fan engine, and their associated power suppliers, focusing their technology connections with electrified propulsion and try to make use of these interactions to inspire us a new generation of electric aero-engine and aero-power such as:
1) the analysis: propeller vs. duct fan, shaft driven vs. rim driven;
2) the inspiration: fan-ducted jet, lightweight aero-generator, edge-driven turbine machine.
The R & D matrix of electric aero-engine is also outlined in this Chapter.
