In this paper, a novel hybrid electric regional aircraft is presented that strategically locates multiple electric and hybrid electric propulsors to obtain aerodynamic benefits. This concept is called the Parallel Electric-Gas Architecture with Synergistic Utilization Scheme (PEGASUS) aircraft. The use of the alternative propulsive systems coupled with their potential aerodynamic benefits presents modeling challenges for conventional aircraft analysis tools. These challenges are addressed by two methods that quantify the potential benefits of the PEGASUS concept. The results of both methods suggest that when com-pared to other hybrid electric regional aircraft, the PEGASUS concept has the potential to decrease the total energy required to complete a mission while also reducing the vehicle gross weight
