PAS 2025: “magniX Launches Next Generation Samson Battery with 400 Wh/kg Cell”

U.S‑based mag­niX, a devel­op­er of pow­er­trains and bat­ter­ies for elec­tric trans­porta­tion, unveiled at the Paris Air­show this week, its next gen­er­a­tion Sam­son bat­tery, pow­ered by a new indus­try-lead­ing 400 Wh/kg cell, reports a press release. 

The high­er ener­gy den­si­ty will expand the scope of mis­sions for elec­tric air­craft and widen non-aero­space appli­ca­tions for mag­niX bat­ter­ies.

The com­pa­ny launched its Sam­son bat­tery range a year ago with the Samson300. These bat­ter­ies have been devel­oped with the ben­e­fit of magniX’s long expe­ri­ence in elec­tric flight and offer unri­valled ener­gy den­si­ty and cycle life as well as patent­ed safe­ty fea­tures. 

The release explains, “Designed for ease of inte­gra­tion, they are ide­al­ly suit­ed for use in elec­tric air­planes, heli­copters and eVTOLs, as well as high-end appli­ca­tions in defence, indus­try, ener­gy stor­age and marine.”

The Samson300 is on dis­play at the Paris Air Show, where mag­niX is exhibit­ing its full elec­tric pow­er­train for air­craft for the first time, along­side a mod­el of its ground­break­ing high speed HeliS­torm engine for elec­tric heli­copters.

Reed Mac­don­ald, CEO of mag­niX, com­ment­ed, “This sig­nif­i­cant break­through in ener­gy den­si­ty will extend the range and pay­load of elec­tric air­craft, fur­ther enhanc­ing the strong com­mer­cial case for elec­tric flight, while also widen­ing the use cas­es for our bat­tery tech­nol­o­gy.”

He con­tin­ued, “With our ful­ly-inte­grat­ed elec­tric pow­er­trains for air­craft, our new HeliS­torm engine for elec­tric heli­copters, and con­tin­u­ing rapid improve­ments in our Sam­son bat­tery prod­uct, mag­niX remains the indus­try leader in cut­ting-edge elec­tric tech­nol­o­gy.”

Riona Arme­smith, Com­pa­ny CTO, added, “Our Sam­son bat­tery prod­uct is estab­lish­ing itself as the go-to choice both for aero­space and for oth­er high-end appli­ca­tions that require excep­tion­al ener­gy den­si­ty, safe­ty fea­tures, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and long cycle life.”
