A woman wearing a black polo shirt with the NASA insignia, dark gray pants, and white shoes stands inside an aircraft hangar in front of a scaled aircraft model. The words “SUSAN Electrofan” and “PAX 180” are printed on a graphic along with fuselage, with a large NASA insignia in the center of the plane. The rear of the aircraft model, along with the wings and tail, are taken apart to display the inner components that make up its electrified propulsion system.
