Original Abstract Submitted
Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes providing the hybrid electric engine, the hybrid electric engine having a gas generating core and an electric machine powered by electric energy. The method further includes determining, by a processing device, whether a use of the electric energy will increase time on wing of the hybrid electric engine of the aircraft a threshold amount. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the use of energy will increase time on wing the threshold amount, apportioning the electric energy from a battery system of the aircraft to increase the time on wing.
