Not to take away from these two companies, I think that Ampaire may be farther 
along. I think that they have already started flights in Hawaii.

They were about to do so when I last talked to the CEO a year or two ago.

[EVDL] Electric aviation startup MagniX opens new facility

[Peri Hartman via EV]

I know other news is a "bit" distracting today, but here's a bit of EV 
news. If the two companies reported in this article are successful, the 
effect could be huge.

Electric aviation startup MagniX opens new headquarters and production 
facility in Everett

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/electric-aviation-startup-magnix-opens-new-headquarters-and-production-facility-in-everett/

Local aviation startup MagniX, which is developing electric motors to 
replace the gas turbine engines on commuter airplanes carrying up to 40 
passengers, announced Tuesday it is consolidating its operations at a 
new facility in Everett.

...
Electric-powered flight technology is not considered viable for 
Boeing-size airplanes. MagniX instead focuses on developing the 
propulsion system for all-electric, zero-emission flights on small 
commuter aircraft that fly routes shorter than 1,000 miles.

...
Ganzarski cites compelling economics, claiming that electric aviation 
should cost about $300 per flight hour versus $1,500 per flight hour on 
current gas-powered planes of that size.

...
One is sister company Eviation, of which Ganzarski is now chairman. Both 
MagniX and Eviation are funded by the Singapore-based Clermont 
investment group owned by New Zealand-born billionaire Richard Chandler.

...
Eviation has designed, though it hasn’t yet flown, an all-electric plane 
called Alice that can carry nine passengers and has a range of 440 
miles.

...
He said Alice should have its first flight this year and Eviation will 
build two more test planes for a two-year flight test and certification 
program. It should be ready to deliver in 2023, he said.
