1. A hybrid propulsive engine, comprising:

  • an at least one jet engine associated with a working fluid passing there through, the at least one jet engine including an at least one compressor section having an at least one independently rotatable compressor stator;

    an at least one energy extraction mechanism configured to extract energy from the working fluid, and at least partially convert that energy to electrical power;

    an at least one torque conversion mechanism configured to convert at least a portion of the electrical power to torque; and

    wherein the at least one independently rotatable compressor stator is selectively rotatably driven at least partially responsively to the at least one torque conversion mechanism configured to convert the at least the portion of the electrical power to torque.
