Lima NY, which operates charter flights as part of the Blade Urban Air Mobility network, is converting its fleet of 10 Cessna Caravan seaplanes to all-electric propulsion. Under an agreement announced today, MagniX will convert the Caravans with its electric propulsion units (EPUs) in time for operations to begin from early 2023.
MagniX is working towards supplemental type certificates for its plans to convert both the Cessna Caravan and DHC-2 Beaver aircraft to electric propulsion. It anticipates getting FAA approval for the battery-powered 280-kW Magni 250 and 560-kW Magni500 EPUs under Part 33 rules by early 2022. The company is also providing electric motors to sister company Eviation for its new Alice aircraft.
