Bye Aerospace has chosen magniX’s Samson battery to power its eFlyer 2 prototype, which is scheduled for its first flight in early 2026.
“We look forward to the first flight and to building a deep partnership with Bye Aerospace, which is doing tremendous work in demonstrating the technological and commercial potential of electric aircraft,” said Reed Macdonald, CEO of magniX.
“As we approach the first flight of our full-scale eFlyer 2 prototype, Bye Aerospace is proud to lead the next generation of pilot training with disruptive, all-electric aircraft technology,“ said Rod Zastrow, CEO of Bye Aerospace. “This milestone marks a critical step in our mission to deliver dramatically lower operating costs, enhanced reliability, and sustainable performance for flight schools. Our collaboration with magniX during the eFlyer 2 prototype phase brings together our innovative airframe with magniX’s proven electric power systems, laying the foundation for a cleaner, more efficient future in aviation training.”
The order from Bye Aerospace follows the announcement in July 2025 of magniX’s partnership with Robinson to develop an electric helicopter demonstrator based on its popular R66 model, magniX officials added.
