A hybrid electric aircraft powerplant controller (101) for controlling an engine (103) and an electric motor-generator (105) can include an engine recharging module (107). The engine recharging module can be configured to operate the engine to produce a desired output power to a propulsor (109) and to produce additional power to drive the electric motor-generator to produce electrical output from the electric motor-generator to recharge an electrical storage device (117) during at least one power setting and/or flight phase where the electric motor-generator is not driving the propulsor.
