The breakthrough performance of magniX’s EPU under simulated flight conditions at altitude demonstrates its readiness for flight testing and moves it closer to the world’s first electric engine certification.

magniX and NASA are demonstrating that sustainable flight can be realised with technology that is available today. The EPFD programme is accelerating its readiness for entry into service.

Achieving success under conditions up to 27,500ft is significant; results such as this, and the recent LoI from Harbour Air for 50 magni650 engines, are major steps to the electrification of regional aircraft.
