An aeronautical propulsion system 200, comprises a propeller 202 mounted to a propeller shaft 204 defining a propeller axis 214; an electric motor 208 comprising a motor output shaft defining a motor axis 216; wherein the motor output shaft and propeller shaft are connected by a linkage such that, in use, driving the motor output shaft for rotation drives rotation of the propeller via the propeller shaft and linkage; and a motor power unit configured to receive power from a power source and provide a motor drive signal to the motor; wherein the motor power unit is spaced along the motor axis from the motor. The motor axis 216 may be non-parallel to the propeller axis 214 and the motor power unit may be mounted next to the gearbox.
