NASA is conducting trade studies for a new hybrid-electric aircraft concept called the SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) Electrofan. The SUSAN airplane is being designed as a 180-passenger commercial airplane and is expected to fly in the 2040 time frame. The flight deck of the SUSAN airplane is expected to resemble a typical two person flightcrew transport. Pilot control research issues include interfaces and display state elements needed for the hybrid-electric propulsion system. This document describes some of the initial flight deck concepts for the SUSAN airplane and areas for future research. The final paper will include results from a piloted research study conducted in a high-fidelity simulation facility at NASA Langley Research Center.
