A 60kW turbojet-electric hybrid power system for eVTOLs. Max output is up to 80kW.

I don’t understand how this works. In a hybrid turbofan electrical power can be used to drive the fan. What does it do here?
iirc it's basically a electric transmission instead of a conventional gearbox for a turboprop.

I think this is intended for eVTOLs. The system would be mounted within a compact nacelle, with the turbine purely serving as a generator. The fan is therefore unneeded both in terms of space consideration and providing direct propulsion.
