A propulsion system includes a propulsor having a driveshaft, an electric machine coupled to the driveshaft of the propulsor, and a combustion engine having an output shaft. The propulsion system additionally includes a one-way clutch operable with at least one of the driveshaft of the propulsor and the output shaft of the combustion engine. The one-way clutch allows for a differential angular velocity of the driveshaft relative to the output shaft in a first circumferential direction and prevents a differential angular velocity of the driveshaft relative to the output shaft in a second circumferential direction.
