Abstract
An engine () is provided with a powertrain including a heat engine () and an output shaft (A), an electric motor (), a battery () for supplying the electric motor () and a propeller propulsion system including a propeller () and a propeller shaft (A), to which the propeller () is coupled. The powertrain includes a system of clutches (E, E, E, E) designed for different configurations to selectively drive the propeller using the heat engine without transmission of the rotation of the electric motor to the propeller; using the electric motor without transmission of the rotation of the heat engine to the propeller; using combined transmission of the rotation of the heat engine and the rotation of the electric motor to the propeller. The electric motor includes a stator and a rotor mounted for rotation about a shaft rigidly connected, or capable of being coupled, to the propeller shaft.
