An airplane, which includes an airframe and a full-segregated thrust hybrid propulsion system mounted on the airframe. The propulsion system includes: one or more sustainer thrust producers; a plurality of electrically powered thrust producers disposed in predetermined positions as a means for providing additional thrust to the airplane, and to supplement airflow over the wings, flaps, and roll control devices of said airplane; whereby increasing the lift of the wing surfaces and providing enhanced control in the roll axis. The trust producers operate independently from one another, with no aerodynamic, electrical or mechanical inter-connection. Safety is enhanced by the ability of either the sustainer thrust producer(s), or the electrically powered augmentation thrust producers to sustain flight to a suitable landing area, should the other system fail.
