An aircraft propulsor assembly includes a fan having a nacelle and plural fan blades radially disposed within the nacelle. The fan blades are configured to be rotated by torque generated by a turbine engine of an aircraft to generate thrust for propelling the aircraft. The assembly also includes an electric motor including a stator in the nacelle of the fan and a rotor in tips of two or more of the fan blades. The electric motor is configured to generate torque that also rotates the fan blades to generate thrust for propelling the aircraft. The assembly also includes a controller configured to reduce or prevent an increase in an operating temperature of the turbine engine of the aircraft by automatically supplanting at least some of the torque generated by the turbine engine with the torque generated by the electric motor.
