Electric-engine and powertrain supplier offering motors, drives, power distribution and batteries for fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft.
Propulsion Architecture
Electric-engine families plus magniDrives power electronics, PDX800 distribution, Samson batteries and software. System scope varies by installation.
Primary Certification Context
Supplier / Component
Strengths
magni350 and magni650: the current catalogue presents direct-drive electric machines for fixed-wing and hybrid applications. Peak and continuous ratings must be distinguished and tied to a dated configuration.
HeliStorm: an electric-helicopter engine associated with a proposed Robinson R66 conversion. The product page's schedule is a manufacturer plan, not evidence of a completed certified aircraft.
magniAIR: launched in April 2026 for experimental/kit and training markets, with an RV-10 integration project and planned availability in 2027.
The manufacturer also offers a broader chain of drives, distribution, batteries and control software. A product-family portfolio does not establish certification of each motor, complete powertrain or customer aircraft.
Weaknesses / Open Questions
Verify the exact delivered configuration, measurement boundary, thermal conditions and approval documents before comparing power density or declaring certification. Flight demonstrations and regulator special conditions are distinct from issued engine and aircraft approvals.
