An aircraft power plant has a hybrid propulsion system having an electric motor, an output shaft drivingly connectable to a thrust generator, a combustion engine, a compressor, and a planetary gear train having an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) mode in which the electric motor is in driving engagement with the compressor via the planetary gear train while the combustion engine is disengaged from the output shaft, and a propulsion mode in which the combustion engine and the electric motor are in driving engagement with the output shaft via the planetary gear train.
