The invention relates to a generator, in particular to a high-speed generator directly driven by an air turbine, wherein the high-speed generator is used for an air vehicle. The high-speed generator directly driven by the air turbine comprises a generator outer shell, a generator receiver and a turbine rotor, and further comprises a permanent magnet combination and a coil winding, wherein an annular airflow channel is formed by the turbine rotor and the generator receiver, the permanent magnet combination is in an circular ring shape and fixed on the periphery of a final-level rotor body of the turbine rotor, the coil winding forms a cylindrical shape and is arranged on the outer surface of the generator receiver in a surrounding mode, and the coil winding is fixed on the generator receiver through the generator outer shell. The high-speed generator directly driven by the air turbine has the advantages of being high in specific power, high in design total pressure dropping ratio, capable of well and automatically balancing the acting force of airflow on a wheel hub, compact in structure, capable of carrying out automatic cooling and capable of providing cooling air sources for the external.
