A lever for adjusting output of a hybrid-electric powerplant of an aircraft includes a lever configured to move over an overall range of positions. Movement of the lever adjusts the output of the hybrid-electric powerplant between at least two modes of operation. In a first subset of positions within the overall range of positions, the hybrid electric powerplant is configured to operate an engine having a mechanical output, output first electrical energy from a motor/generator driven by the mechanical output of the engine, and drive a propulsion mechanism by the mechanical output of the engine. In a second subset of positions within the overall range of positions, the hybrid electric powerplant is configured to operate the engine having the mechanical output, receive second electrical energy at the motor/generator, drive the mechanical output with the motor/generator using the second electrical energy, and drive the propulsion mechanism by the mechanical output.
