A system is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft system includes a powertrain, a lubrication system and a casing. The powertrain includes a powerplant, a power transmission, a clutch system and a bladed rotor. The power transmission operatively couples the powerplant to the clutch system. The clutch system operatively couples the power transmission to the bladed rotor. The powerplant is configured to drive rotation of the bladed rotor through the power transmission and the clutch system when the clutch system is engaged. The lubrication system includes a lubricant reservoir and a lubricant circuit. The lubrication system is configured to direct lubricant from the lubricant reservoir to the powerplant and the power transmission through the lubricant circuit. The casing houses the power transmission and the lubricant reservoir.
