MagniX’s magni650 electric propulsion unit (EPU) recently completed its extensive NASA test campaign.
This moves the device one step closer to achieving the “world’s first” electric engine certification. The magni650 conducted testing at NASA’s Electric Aircraft Testbed, or NEAT, in Sandusky, Ohio. It was able to provide a maximum continuous 700 kilowatts of power at an altitude of 30,000 feet. PAL-V and the Netherlands Aerospace Center (NLR) announced the completion of the development phase of the rotor blades for the PAL-V Liberty, a significant step in moving toward the production phase of the flying car. SpaceX is aiming to increase its number of allowed launches from 5 to 25 next year. SpaceX’s launch license, set in 2022, currently permits five annual launches from its Starbase test facility in Boca Chica, Texas. As of November 19, four had been used with one remaining.
