MagniX this week unveiled two new members of its family of electric propulsion units (EPUs) for aircraft. In addition to the Magni500 system, the U.S. company is now offering the Magni350 and Magni650 EPUs.

With respective power ratings of 350 kW and 650 kW, these units offer alternatives to the 500 kW Magni500, which has already been flown on converted aircraft including a DHC-2 Beaver and a Cessna Grand Caravan. MagniX is looking to market electrified versions of existing aircraft with installations to be made under supplemental type certificates that it is in the process of securing from the FAA.
