A hybrid aircraft architecture is disclosed that uses an electric motor-generator-propeller propulsion system for takeoff, landings, and low speed flying, and wave engines for cruise-condition flying and flying at high speeds. The propeller of the electric motor-generator-propeller propulsion system can be located at the nose or aft end (tail) of the aircraft. The wave engines can be located at the aft end of the fuselage, or under or integrated into the wing structures. The wave engines can be deployed in pairs and the wave engines of the pair may be cross-connected and operated in an anti-phase mode to reduce the noise and vibration that would exist if each wave engine is operated independently.
