About Manta Aircraft

Manta Aircraft is an Italian eVTOL developer based in Vergiate, Lombardy. Its ANN-family aircraft are hybrid-electric VTOLs designed for ranges far beyond what battery-electric peers can deliver — up to 1,300 km — by combining electric lift rotors with a small range-extending engine.
