Magnix Makes Another Leap for Electric Aviation with eCaravan First Flight

On May 28, 2020, Magnix and its partner AeroTEC made a first flight with their electric-powered version of Textron’s Cessna Grand Caravan. The flight lasted around 30 minutes, which is the current limit for the batteries used in the Magni500 electric propulsion system. Magnix and AeroTEC hope to get the aircraft certified and ready to enter service by the end of 2021.
