magniX has developed a family of flight proven electric propulsion units (EPUs) and energy storage systems (ESS) for commercial aviation. ESS options include high density batteries and hydrogen fuel cells.magniX powered the all-electric flight of a modified Robinson R44 helicopter. The battery-electric retrofit was sponsored by UnitedTherapeutics — a biotechnology company on a mission to develop a fleet of zero-emissions rotorcraft to deliver life-saving transplant organs to hospitals.magniX was established on January 1, 2009 in Redmond, Washington.
