Electrified aircraft propulsion concepts have been proposed to meet aggressive future performance and environmental goals for the next generation of aircraft. However, electrified aircraft present a unique modeling and simulation challenge as they introduce multiple energy sources to the propulsion system, providing various means to meet thrust requirements, compared to conventional gas turbine propulsion architectures where only fuel is available. Additionally, the introduction of an electric powertrain to the existing system enables multiple electrified flight modes to exist (i.e. eTaxi, climb boost, takeoff boost, etc.), further increasing the complexity of the modeling environment. As part of the Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration program, this paper presents a modeling and simulation framework for a parallel hybrid-electric propulsion concept using the Environmental Design Space simulation tool. Electrical components are modeled in NPSS, and an overall sizing methodology is introduced. Finally, various operational modes of the electric powertrain are modeled and tested and their impact on key performance parameters is evaluated.
