Higher- performing battery chemistries than today’s lithium-ion ones are being developed. Other forms of energy storage, such as hydrogen fuel cells, are being fielded by the automotive industry. The 2-seater Pipistrel Velis Electro received EASA type certificate in Q2 2020, an aviation first for an electric aircraft, under CS-22 and newly developed special conditions. A mature certification framework under Part21 (EASA) or Part33 (FAA) is still being developed Optimized and distributed connection to the grid, apron fast-charging or battery quick replacement, “green” ecosystem and airports infrastructure are all key enablers towards the aerospace electric revolution 10 Making Electric Flight Real with Commercial Partners Eviation’s Alice is a 9-passenger all-electric aircraft built to make air travel affordable and sustainable for regional transport. In 2019, Eviation selected magniX to provide its propulsion system for the Alice planes. The Alice plane, together with magniX motors, made its debut on the 2019 Paris Air Show and is expected to first fly in 2021. POWERED BY Harbour Air Seaplanes is a scheduled floatplane airline based in British Columbia, Canada. In December 2019, Harbour Air and magniX conducted the successful flight of the world’s first all-electric commercial aircraft, a five-passenger DHC-2 de Havilland Beaver powered by a magniX propulsion system. This aircraft continues flying in Canada. POWERED BY Universal Hydrogen is aspiring to make hydrogen-powered commercial flight a near-term reality. They are working on hydrogen infrastructure and distribution, as well as conversions for hydrogen- powered regional aircraft. magniX has been selected as the propulsion partner for Universal Hydrogen’s project to develop the world's largest hydrogen- based commercial aircraft using a Dash-8. POWERED BY Sydney Seaplanes is an Australian seaplane airline in and around the Sydney region and is the largest seaplane operator in Australia. Sydney Seaplanes selected magniX propulsion for their Electric Cessna Caravan Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Program that they plan to serve to operators in the South Pacific. POWERED BY UK-based start-up Faradair is developing an 18-passenger hybrid-electric aircraft for operations starting 2026. magniX was selected to provide the electric propulsion systems for the aircraft.
