A gas turbine engine for an aircraft comprising an engine core and including a bypass channel which radially surrounds the engine core at least in part is described. A core shaft is operatively connected to an engine accessory gearbox, which is arranged between the engine core and the bypass channel, by means of a radial shaft of a drive train. An electric machine is provided which is designed to start the gas turbine engine during motor operation and to generate electrical energy during alternator operation. The electric machine is arranged coaxially with the core shaft and connected thereto for conjoint rotation. Alternatively, the electric machine can be arranged radially outside the bypass channel and can be operatively connected to the core shaft by means of the radial shaft, wherein a rotor of the electric machine is arranged coaxially with the radial shaft and connected thereto for conjoint rotation.
