HYBRID ELECTRIC PROPULSION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

Methods and systems for operating a hybrid electric aircraft propulsion systemmounted to anaircraft. The method comprises driving a first rotating propulsor from a firstelectric motoroperatively connected to a generator, driving a second rotating propulsor froma secondelectric motor operatively connected to the generator, and driving a thirdrotating propulsorfrom a thermal engine, the thermal engine operatively connected to thegenerator andconfigured to drive the generator.
