>"We are very excited to bring the marvel of electric flight to a new segment of the market,” Macdonald said. “magniAIR electric engines coupled with our industry-leading Samson batteries can be used for any application currently powered by a 120-175 kW piston engine. Thanks to magniX’s full powertrain, integration is simple and cost effective, bringing electric flight to kit plane builders and enthusiasts.”
Funny how they never mention what the pricing or availability will be, but if all you care about is keeping gullible, low-information investor dollars flowing in, making bullshit appeasing statements like this is all you need to do, facts be damned.
Motor & controller state of the art for practical electric light GA is definately there (has been for a few years), but the batteries that would need to hold the energy required for a 3 hour flight, meet mass, volume and durability requirements are still years, if not decades, away.
