A method is provided for operating an aircraft system. During this operating method, a plurality of drive units are provided that include a thermal engine drive unit and an electric machine drive unit. A mechanical load is powered using a first of the drive units. The first of the drive units includes a first rotating structure. A parameter of the first rotating structure is monitored. A failure of the first of the drive units is detected based on the monitored parameter. A switch is made from the first of the drive units to a second of the drive units to power the mechanical load where the failure of the first of the drive units is detected.
