A propulsion system for an aircraft includes an electric generator mechanically driven by a combustion engine, with the electric generator configured to generate alternating current electrical power. The propulsion system additionally includes a power bus electrically connected to the electric generator and configured to receive and transmit the alternating current electrical power generated by the electric generator. Additionally, the propulsion system includes, an electric propulsor assembly comprising an electric motor and a propulsor drivingly connected to the electric motor, the electric motor electrically coupled to the power bus for the receiving alternating current electrical power from the power bus.
