An aircraft includes a fuselage and a wing assembly attached to or formed integrally with the fuselage. The aircraft also includes a hybrid electric propulsion system having a port propulsor and a starboard propulsor, with the port and starboard propulsors attached to the wing assembly on opposing sides of the fuselage and rotatable between a forward thrust position and a vertical thrust position. The hybrid electric propulsion system additionally includes an electric power source including a combustion engine and an electric generator, with the electric generator being driven by the combustion engine. The electric generator is in electrical communication with each of the port and starboard propulsors for powering the port and starboard propulsors.
