Powered by the current Magni electric motor, the battery technology in the Beaver as equipped is currently capable of only a 100-nm range. But that is expected to increase in the future as the technology evolves. Magni believes by 2025 this same aircraft will offer a 150-nm range, growing to 300 nm by 2030, again all without using a single drop of fossil-based fuel to directly run the engine. Industry skeptics believe short-range electric powered flights are all that this kind of airplane will ever be capable of, but short-range flights are at the heart of Harbour Air’s business model and why it carried 500,000 passengers last year.
