An aircraft propulsion system, comprising: a control apparatus, a rotatable power unit, and a fixed power unit, where: the control apparatus is configured to notify the rotatable power unit and the fixed power unit of a target operation mode according to an aircraft control instruction; the rotatable power unit is configured to adjust propelling directions and operation states of all thrusters in the rotatable power unit according to the target operation mode; and the fixed power unit is configured to adjust operation states of all thrusters in the fixed power unit according to the target operation mode. Hence, there is no power deadweight in the aircraft control system, a weight of the aircraft is reduced, and flight control of the aircraft is optimized. Utilization efficiency of the overall power system is improved in the aircraft. Moreover, the distributed layout of the rotatable power unit and the fixed power unit improves a fault tolerance of the power system and ensures safety of the aircraft.
