"I welcome and applaud magniX for its decision to manufacture its revolutionary electric airplane engines in Everett, the world's premier aerospace manufacturing city," said Cassie Franklin, Mayor of Everett. "Together we will make things that reinvent our world."
"magniX continues to make tremendous progress toward revolutionizing commercial aviation and our new facility is a representation of that progress," said magniX CEO Roei Ganzarski. "I am excited to see efficient and clean electric aircraft propulsion systems of varying power ranges coming out of this facility and heading to customers."
In the last 18 months, magniX has powered the world's first all-electric commercial aircraft – Harbour Air's eBeaver; powered the world's largest commercial electric aircraft, the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, was selected by Universal Hydrogen, to help bring near-term adoption of hydrogen in commercial aviation, and by Sydney Seaplanes to bring electric aircraft to Australia and the Pacific. magniX was also recently selected by Faradair to bring electric aircraft production to the United Kingdom powering their new aircraft - BEHA.
This announcement comes on the heels of Eviation, magniX's sister company and maker of the world's first all-electric commuter aircraft, opening operations in Arlington, Washington late last year.
