A reverse-flow gas turbine engine includes a core of the gas turbine engine comprising multiple spools rotatable about a center axis of the gas turbine engine. Each spool is configured to pressurize air and to extract energy from combustion gases. The air and combustion gases are configured to flow through the core in a forward direction from an air inlet at an aft end of the core to an outlet at a forward end of the core. A propeller is disposed forward of the outlet. A reduction gearbox (RGB) is drivingly engaged to the core. An electric motor is drivingly engaged to the propeller and disposed axially between the RGB and the propeller.
