MAGicALL; Airbus Partner On eMotors For CityAirbus NextGen The CityAirbus NextGen is moving to another phase in its development with the recent announcement that Airbus will be partnering with MAGicALL for the development of the electric motors that will be fitted on the CityAirbus NextGen. The new motors will be a custom version of MAGicALL's newest motor. The Airbus eVTOL prototype will be equipped with a tailored version of the MAGiDRIVE which represents the newest generation of electric motors manufactured by MAGicALL.
Joerg P. Mueller, Airbus’ Head of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), said: "We are proud to benefit from the experience of MAGicALL to develop the electric propulsion system of CityAirbus NextGen. The electric motors are a major component of our prototype: the high torque and low weight of the MAGiDRIVE as well as its robust design will be highly beneficial for the overall efficiency of the aircraft." CityAirbus NextGen entered its detailed design phase in 2021, with the prototype’s first flight planned for 2023. For more information: Airbus S.A.S.
