Zusammenfassung:	A hybrid electric propulsor equipped with a hydraulic coupling is provided. In one aspect, a propulsor includes a gas turbine engine and an electric machine operatively coupled thereto. The gas turbine engine includes a fan spool and a core spool. The electric machine is operatively coupled with the fan spool. A hydraulic coupling defines a sealed volume in which hydraulic transmission fluid is provided. The hydraulic coupling encases at least a portion of the fan spool and at least a portion of the core spool. The hydraulic coupling hydraulically couples the fan spool and the core spool and allows for power transmission between the fan spool and the core spool.
