The company Harbour Air announced the successful test of a modified seaplane "the De Havilland Beaver" on the flight for commercial purposes. The plane took off from canadian waters of the Fraser river and landed in the waters of Vancouver island. The flight distance is 72 km took 24 minutes and at the end of the powered aircraft remained "a lot of charge", said the press service of the company.

The flight was done without passengers, but according to all the rules of transit "point to point" which is the penultimate step for the official certification of the vehicle. Harbour Air do not doubt the success they began to study the electric aircraft in 2019 in cooperation with the company MagniX. The first flight of the modernized seaplane took place in the same year, and now the company is preparing to launch scheduled flights. The characteristics of the electric version of "the De Havilland Beaver" is not specified, but they must not be inferior to the original, otherwise such aircraft is no commercial sense. Compact 6-seater Harbour Air seaplanes commit to 30,000 flights per year, carrying half a million people in Canada and the United States. It is the largest hydrosmecta company in North America, and its leadership made a promise the first in the world to translate all your machinery electricity.
