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.
