Hybrid propulsion engines for aircraft are described herein. An example hybrid propulsion engine includes a propulsor and a gas turbine engine having a first drive shaft (218). The hybrid propulsion engine also includes an electric motor having a second drive shaft (220), and the propulsor is coupled to the second drive shaft (220). The hybrid propulsion engine further includes a clutch coupled between the first drive shaft (218) and the second drive shaft (220) to enable the gas turbine engine to drive the propulsor, via the clutch, during a first mode of operation and to enable the electric motor to drive the propulsor during a second mode of operation.
