Cessna Caravan aircraft are flown in 100 countries around the world. The caravan's electric motor produces 750 horsepower with which this plane flies. "We don't want any pollution from the planes," said MagniX.

Earlier, the company successfully tested a 6-seater electric aircraft in Vancouver, Canada. It was a harbor aircraft which flew in the sky for 15 minutes. Harbor Air connects most of the cities with oceans, rivers and canals.

Its maximum speed is 183 km per hour. The company has said that by the end of 2021, the airlines will start receiving these aircraft.
