The present disclosure is directed towards a transmission system for a propulsion system. The propulsion system comprises at least one power unit, a power transfer system and at least one propulsion element. The transmission system comprises summation, propulsion output and power transfer transmissions. The summation transmission is configured to receive power from the at least one power unit and/or power transfer system. The propulsion output transmission comprises a first propulsion output shaft and is configured to receive power from the summation transmission and direct the power to the at least one propulsion element. The power transfer transmission is operably connected to the summation transmission and is configured to transfer power between the summation transmission and the power transfer system. The power transfer transmission comprises a first power transfer shaft and a power transfer coupler configured to selectively operably connect the first power transfer shaft to the first propulsion output shaft such that power is transferred directly from the power transfer system to the propulsion output transmission.
