This paper describes a process to develop a flight simulation test capability for the SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) Electrofan, a subsonic regional jet transport aircraft concept that utilizes electrified propulsion to gain benefits in fuel usage, emissions, and cost. The process, which involves the integration of independently developed models and their subsequent implementation in a flight simulator, is general and can be applied to a variety of aircraft types. However, the use of electrified propulsion architectures has the potential to add complexity beyond that of a traditional aircraft, especially with regard to the pilot interface. The way the pilot interacts with the thrust producing components could vary significantly between architectures, and the information displayed to the pilot will necessarily include additional variables beyond what is normally displayed in a traditional cockpit. This paper describes the integration process in general, as well as specific accommodations made for the architecture under consideration.
