Abstract

Verbatim from NASA NTRS. Not paraphrased, not summarized.

NASA is developing a new hybrid-electric aircraft concept called the SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) Electrofan. The SUSAN airplane is being designed as a 180-passenger commercial regional jet and is expected to fly in the 2040 time frame. The flight deck of the SUSAN airplane is expected to resemble a typical two flightcrew transport. Research issues include pilot control and the display elements needed for the hybrid-electric propulsion system. This paper describes a research study conducted in a high-fidelity simulator where 14 commercial pilots evaluated throttle controls and engine display concepts for a proposed SUSAN flight deck.
