The first flight of an all electric commercial airplane took place on the Fraser River in Richmond BC. The plane owned by Vancouver based Harbour Air, the world's largest all floatplane airline, was a de Havilland Beaver 6 passenger float plane outfitted with an electric propulsion system designed and supplied by Redmond Washington based Magnix. The airline plans to convert their entire fleet of floatplanes to all electric propulsion systems and expects to have the first all electric flights carrying paid passengers by 2021. Interesting stuff.
