The present invention relates to a system comprising at least two counter-rotating propellers independent one another, in which the main propeller is actuated by a thermal primary engine and the secondary propeller is actuated by a secondary electric motor parallel with respect to said first thermal primary engine, in which the system also includes a traction belt able to transmit the motion to said secondary propeller.In this way it is possible to exploit in many ways the fact that the two propellers are placed in order to be actuated by two different engines.In fact, it is possible to improve the efficiency in phase of take-off, landing or for return operations or with full power, so as to have a safety increase by counting on the thrust of the secondary electric motor, which can also be used as current generator for recharging the auxiliary batteries.Furthermore, the traction belt is very light with respect to the gear transmissions, and is able to transmit very high power with the advantage of being silent without requiring lubrication.
