MACHINE COMPRISING A HYBRID POWERTRAIN AND CORRESPONDING CONTROL METHOD

The machine, such as an aircraft, is provided with a powertrain which comprises a vaned propulsion system (), and a thermal drive system (), including a first thermal engine (A) and a second thermal engine (B), which is configured to allow the vaned propulsion system () to be driven. The powertrain also includes an electric drive system () which allows the vaned propulsion system () to be driven, an electrical power supply system () including a battery () which allows the electric drive system () to be supplied with power. A clutch system () allows any or each of the thermal engines (A, B) to be engaged in order to drive the vaned propulsion system (), the clutch system () also being configured to allow any or each of the thermal engines (A, B) to be disengaged from the vaned propulsion system ().
