All Electric Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
Leading the charge in the electric era of aviation, magniX will be conducting the first flight test of the 750-horsepower magni500 all-electric propulsion system on a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan in Moses Lake, Washington on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 8:00am Pacific Standard Time
The magniX team, together with our partners at AeroTEC, have been working hard magnifying the aircraft and converting it from its gas guzzling, emission creating, old self, to an all-electric, low operating cost, clean aircraft.
Following in the footsteps of the historic world’s first flight of the all-electric commercial aircraft – the eBeaver with Harbour Air – the eCaravan will showcase one of the world’s most-used Middle-Mile aircraft going all electric.
The flight will be broadcast LIVE via our Facebook and YouTube pages.

First
successful flight for world's largest all-electric plane
Soaring through the skies over Washington state, the world's largest all-electric aircraft made its first successful flight on Thursday (May 28).
The Cessna Caravan flew for around 30 minutes before landing safely back in Moses Lake, Washington, about 180 miles southeast of Seattle.
The nine-seater plane is the brainchild of engine-maker magniX and aerospace firm AeroTEC.
In December magniX worked with Vancouver-based Harbour Air to power the first all-electric seaplane.
And now...magniX hopes to have the Cessna Caravan entering commercial service next year, making it the largest zero-emissions commercial aircraft in operation.
Thursday's test flight took place with only the pilot onboard.
