A method for protecting an electric propulsion system in response to occurrence of a fault. The method includes the step of activating short circuits in power switches of inverters in a motor controller to redirect current regenerated by a motor which is electrically coupled to the motor controller and mechanically coupled to a propeller. The method further includes feathering the propeller while the motor is regenerating current. The protection logic is designed to address different types of faults, including faults in the high-voltage direct-current bus, faults in the motor controller, and faults in the motor.
