This paper provides an update on the power and propulsion (P&P) system design for the SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) Electrofan. The SUSAN vehicle concept is a transformative concept hybrid electric aircraft with a single tail-mounted turbofan engine that provides thrust and power to 16 electric propulsors located on the wings. This configuration makes uses of large-scale power extraction along with a high-power electrical system transmitting 20 MW of power from the engine to the wing propulsors. This paper goes into detail on P&P advances relating turbine engine design, electrical system capabilities, advanced turbine control techniques, and electrical system cooling techniques. It should be noted that the SUSAN concept continues to be developed and this paper simply offers an update on the design.
