An aircraft and a hybrid aircraft propulsion system for the aircraft is disclosed. The aircraft has propellers and a jet engine. The propellers convert energy generated by the generator into a mechanical energy for rotating the blades and vice versa. The aircraft preferably has a configuration with left and right wing mounted propellers with electrical engines which may also function as electrical generators, a tail mounted jet engine with a coupled electrical generator, and optionally left and right wing mounted jet engines. The tail mounted jet engine is provided with air for combustion via an air intake of an S-duct type, whereby the rotor of the generator is positioned in line with the turbine shaft, therefore not disturbing airflow. A method is provided to calculate a safe flight of the aircraft, even when exclusively flying on electrical energy.
