Zusammenfassung:A hybrid-electric propulsion system (50) includes a propulsor (104), a turbomachine (102), and an electrical system, the electrical system including an electric machine (56) coupled to the turbomachine (102). A method for operating the propulsion system (50) includes operating at (302), by one or more computing devices, the turbomachine such that the turbomachine rotates the propulsor; receiving at (304), by the one or more computing devices, a command to accelerate the turbomachine while operating the turbomachine; and providing at (306), by the one or more computing devices, electrical power to the electric machine to add power to the turbomachine, the propulsor, or both in response to the received command to accelerate the turbomachine.
