A propulsion system 100 for an aircraft 10 includes an electric propulsion engine configured to be mounted to the aircraft 10 at an aft end of the aircraft 10. The electric propulsion engine includes a fan 304 rotatable about a central axis 302 of the electric propulsion engine. The fan 304 includes a fan shaft 330 mechanically coupled to a power gearbox 336. The electric propulsion engine also includes an electric motor 334 having a driveshaft, with the electric motor 334 coupled to the power gearbox 336 through the drive shaft 332. The electric motor 334 rotates the fan 304 through the power gearbox 336. The driveshaft includes a flexible element for accommodating a misalignment of the electric motor 334 and the power gearbox 336.
