MagniAIR electric engine
MagniX is installing the MagniAIR electric propulsion system in a Vans RV-10 experimental airplane, which it expects to fly in early 2027.

Electric propulsion systems manufacturer MagniX is now taking pre-orders from experimental aircraft builders for the MagniAIR electric engine, which was unveiled at the Sun ’n Fun show in April. Buyers can place pre-orders on the MagniX website and will be placed in a queue after making a $2,000 deposit.

The package includes the firewall-forward MagniAIR powertrain with MagniX Samson batteries and mounts for popular kit airplanes. The company is installing the propulsion system in a Vans RV-10 and expects to achieve first flight in early 2027. Deliveries of the MagniAIR systems are planned in 2027, and price for the motor and inverter system is expected to be compatible with the more than $100,000 price of a comparable piston engine. This does not include the Samson batteries.
