Hybrid propulsion is obtained by arranging, around a conventional turbomachine, a reversible electric machine linked to the low-pressure shaft via a mechanical movement transmission, a one-way clutch being arranged on the low-pressure shaft between the fan and a low-pressure compressor. The low-pressure shaft includes two aligned portions which can be separated and reconnected. A casing includes a first portion able to tilt around a horizontal transverse axis of the aircraft relative to a second portions of the casing. One portion of the low-pressure shaft, the fan and the reversible electric machine are mounted on the first portion of the casing, and the other portion of the low-pressure shaft is mounted on the second portion of the casing. This device facilitates electric taxiing of the aircraft, using the machine as a motor, whereas the rear of the low-pressure shaft remains stationary.
