A dual drive hybrid electric power plant to power an aircraft comprises a propulsion assembly, an internal combustion engine having an output shaft configured to drive the propulsion assembly, and an electric motor configured to drive the propulsion assembly and to be selectively coupled to the output shaft. The power plant may be configured such that the electric motor alone drives the propulsion assembly, or such that the internal combustion engine and the electric motor drive the propulsion assembly.
