A parallel hybrid aircraft comprising an electric propulsion system and a combustion propulsion system. The electric propulsion system may include a motor, one or more batteries, and a first propeller. The combustion propulsion system may include a combustion engine and a second propeller. The combustion propulsion system may be decoupled and independently operable from the electric propulsion system. A flight control system may control which of the electric propulsion system and/or the combustion propulsion system provides propulsion and/or thrust for ground movement, takeoff, forward flight at cruising altitude, and/or landing. The flight control system may control the electric propulsion system to provide propulsion and/or thrust to propel the parallel hybrid aircraft on the ground; control both the electric propulsion system and the combustion propulsion system to provide propulsion and/or thrust during takeoff; and/or control the combustion propulsion system to provide propulsion and/or thrust during forward flight at the cruising altitude.
