An aircraft power plant is disclosed having a plurality of bladed rotors (64) in flow communication driven by separate work producing devices (70, 72). The work producing devices (70, 72) can take a variety of forms including an internal combustion engine and electric motor, for example. The bladed rotors (64) can be associated with an aircraft pylon (64) and can be driven independently to separate operating conditions to provide optimum performance. For example, the bladed rotors (64) can be driven to separate operating conditions that improve a noise signature or performance of the aircraft. |
