A propulsion system for an aircraft includes at least one gas turbine engine, an electric auxiliary fan driving motor configured to selectively receive electric power input from one or more electric power sources, and at least one auxiliary propulsion fan configured to selectively receive a motive force from either or both of the at least one gas turbine engine and the electric auxiliary fan driving motor. The propulsion system also includes a controller configured to establish a plurality of takeoff thrust settings of the at least one gas turbine engine and the electric auxiliary fan driving motor such that a minimum total aircraft thrust required for takeoff of the aircraft is produced.
