Abstract

A method for controlling at least a first turboshaft engine and a second turboshaft engine of a rotorcraft, which set a common kinematic linkage in motion, the rotorcraft having an output electric machine cooperating with a first output kinematic linkage of the first turboshaft engine, the rotorcraft having an input electric machine cooperating with a gas generator of the second turboshaft engine. The method includes the following steps: supplying fuel to the first turboshaft engine, operating the output electric machine in electrical energy generator mode, supplying fuel to the second turboshaft engine, and operating the input electric machine in motor mode in order to supply a second non-zero power to said common kinematic linkage.
