How do you compare with Magnax?

Also: We're developing high energy density battery packs (cells of 400wh/kg+, packs at 300-350wh/kg), might be interesting to team up. Hit me up on LinkedIn: Bernd Rietberg.

In general, Magnax seems to be focusing on automotive, which changes the driving factors in the design significantly (partial load efficiency becomes very important, cost is #1, etc).

In the aircraft world, Magnix has been doing some really awesome work. Their motors + inverters are about 4 kW/kg continuous. Our multiple areas of technology development should put us >12 kW/kg, which would be a 3x improvement. We are excited to build and iterate on a rapid pace to get there as soon as possible (hardware is, of course, hard :)
