de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver seaplane was converted to electric propulsion


Cooperation partners MagniX and Harbor Air have announced the successful first flight of a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver seaplane converted to electric propulsion. The declared goal of the duo is to successively electrify all 42 sea airplanes from Harbor Air.

The US company MagniX, which specializes in aircraft electric propulsion, and North America's largest sea airline, based in Richmond, Canada, have been cooperating since March of this year. 

For the first flight, a six-seater de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver with the 560 kW electric motor magni500 took off. MagniX presented this engine for the first time at this year's Paris Air Show. With Harbor Air boss Greg McDougall in the cockpit, the converted aircraft from Harbor Air's seaplane terminal in Richmond made a lap over the Fraser River.
