Manta Aircraft

Manta Aircraft is the OEM of a unique long range hybrid-electric eV/STOL (Vertical and Short Take Off and Landing) platform. Several models on the same base technologies, piloted and unmanned, fit to several markets and missions such as customers operating in utility & service aircraft market, business aviation and defense sector, facing the problem that helicopters are expensive to use and maintain, while aircraft are confined to runways. Manta Aircraft has engineered a solution that significantly reduces costs compared to conventional helicopters used for regional missions. Furthermore, it is not bound to ground infrastructure for takeoff or battery recharge. The aircraft can take off and land from small unprepared areas, offering unprecedented accessibility and enabling to reach areas previously inaccessible or difficult to reach. The platform is designed to lower carbon footprints and make a positive impact on the environment adopting a greener propulsion system, that can also evolve in time towards hydrogen or full batteries,as soon as new technologies become available. Compared to eVTOL Air taxis for Urban Air Mobility, Manta Aircraft targets a regional and interregional market, offering long range, high cruising speed, low operating costs.
