A De Havilland Beaver that was completely retrofitted in 2019 to operate using all electricity flew 45 miles in 24 minutes from Fraser River to Pat Bay in British Columbia.

After the first flight of the Harbour Air eBeaver powered by magniX in December 2019 and the ongoing flight tests since then, the companies have teamed up with H55 to bring their shared vision to life by 2022.

In June magniX unveiled the all-electric 750hp magni500 electric propulsion system, the 375hp magni250 and the magniDrive. They produce no emissions and should reduce operating costs by up to 80 per cent.
