The advent of hybrid-electric aircraft concepts with distributed propulsion has resulted in relatively complicated powertrain designs. Determining the optimal approach to display information about the hybrid system in the flightdeck has taken on great importance. At NASA Glenn Research Center, the concept SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) hybrid airliner has been modeled inside a flight simulator where different flight deck displays can be evaluated. This work focused on ways to display information that reduce clutter and information overload without degrading the crew’s ability to operate the aircraft and respond properly to emergencies. The displays’ layout and symbologies were created to be intuitive to the pilots. This paper documents iterations of synoptic displays and discusses the rationale and tradeoffs behind each variation.
