magniX achieves historic milestone with its electric propulsion unit during NASA test campaign 

magniX has actually finished screening of its magni650 electrical propulsion device (EPU) at NASA’s Electric Airplane Testbed (NEAT) in Sandusky, Ohio.

The magni650 efficiently done at an elevation of 30,000 feet at an optimum constant power of 700 kilowatts (kw)– in what magniX claims is an unmatched accomplishment for an electrical engine.

Revealing the information today (Tuesday), magniX claimed the development efficiency of its EPU under substitute trip problems at elevation shows its preparedness for the trip examination stage of NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Trip Presentation (EPFD) task and relocate closer to the globe’s initial electrical engine accreditation.

Ben Loxton, magniX VP of Technical Programs, claimed: “The cool examination project has actually relocated us closer to the globe’s initial accreditation of an electrical powertrain for aeronautics.

” The job we are performing with NASA in the EPFD task will certainly make it possible for the electrification of local industrial aeronautics in pure electrical on brief paths, and hybridization on longer paths– considerable actions towards the decarbonization of aerospace.”

In the following phase of EPFD, among the 4 generator engines on magniX’s De Havilland Dashboard 7 examination airplane will certainly be changed with a magni650 electrical powertrain, with examination trips prepared for 2026.

The last of the program will certainly see a 2nd generator engine replaced with an additional magniX powertrain. This setup is anticipated to decrease gas intake by approximately 40 percent on a regular trip. With the information accumulated, this will certainly bring the electrification of massive industrial airplane better to entry-into-service by the end of the years.

Increasing The Departure of Electric Trip

With an unrivaled document of powering initial trips on 5 various airplane, magniX is leading the improvement of electrical aeronautics. Having actually released its Samson batteries previously in 2024, with unparalleled power thickness and cycle-life, magniX offers a complete electrical powertrain service with a clear path to entry-into-service.

Headquartered in Everett, Washington State, UNITED STATE, magniX has actually created industry-leading powertrains and batteries for the electrification of transport.

magniX’s complete electrical powertrain uses an incorporated system for impressive airplane. Its Samson batteries supply a risk-free, useful service for battery electrical and hybrid electrical airplane and are additionally preferably matched to power helicopters, eVTOL airplane and aquatic craft.
