Innovating hybrid-electric engines for a greener, safer flying experience
Magnetic Motion is redefining general aviation with a novel compact hybrid-electric engine that merges the reliability of piston engines with the efficiency and intelligence of electric assist.
By embedding a type certified electric motor into certified piston engines and controlling it with advanced Edge AI, we enable aircraft to fly cleaner, smarter, and more affordably. Our vision is to make regional and training flights sustainable without compromise.

General aviation faces environmental and technological challenges that demand innovative solutions
Over 200,000 piston aircraft worldwide still operate with 60-year-old engine designs that are inefficient and environmentally harmful.
Leaded aviation fuel remains a major public health hazard with limited availability, no viable replacement in sight for existing fleets.
Batteries, even with optimistic advances, remain too heavy for full-electric aviation, limiting range and payload capacity.
Existing aircraft avionics and systems were not designed for electrification, creating integration challenges.
Hydrogen fuel cells suffer from extreme waste heat (50% efficiency) and degrade at altitude, making them impractical.
H2 infrastructure for transport, refueling, and onboard storage is virtually nonexistent in general aviation.
Our patent-pending hybrid-electric solution outperforms competitors across every critical metric
