An electrical generator for an aircraft includes a gas turbine engine having an exhaust section defining an exhaust cavity through which combustion exhaust gases are emitted in a direction defining an exhaust vector, and a magnetohydrodynamic generator having a magnetic field generator forming a magnetic field having at least some magnetic field lines perpendicular to the exhaust vector, and at least one electrode pair, comprising at least one positive electrode and at least one negative electrode, arranged relative to the exhaust section wherein movement of charged particles entrained in the exhaust gas along the exhaust vector generates a DC power output at the at least one electrode pair.
