A framework for aircraft-level evaluation of hybrid-electric propulsion system architectures is presented. Architectures are defined modularly and flexibly to enable dynamic generation of architectures in an optimization loop. Evaluation includes mission simulation using OpenConcept and overall aircraft sizing using OpenAD, and is demonstrated using a regional tuboprop aircraft.
