A method is provided for operating an aircraft system (20). During this operating method, a plurality of drive units (42) are provided that include a thermal engine drive unit (44) and an electric machine drive unit (34). A mechanical load (30) is powered using a first of the drive units (34). The first of the drive units (34) includes a first rotating structure (46, 48). A parameter of the first rotating structure (46, 48) is monitored. A failure of the first of the drive units (34) is detected based on the monitored parameter. A switch is made from the first of the drive units (34) to a second of the drive units (34) to power the mechanical load (30) where the failure of the first of the drive units (34) is detected.
