Innovating Hybrid and Electric Aircraft
Flight into Sustainability
Revolutionizing regional travel is at the heart of Manta Aircraft's mission with its development of eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicles for regional journeys of up to 300 kilometers, areas where traditional transport solutions fall short. This approach offers a compelling business case for sustainable short-distance air travel.
The key challenge is balancing power and weight. Current battery technology lacks the energy needed for vertical takeoff and long flights. To address this, Manta is leveraging hybrid propulsion—combining internal combustion engines with electric batteries—as an intermediate step toward fully electric or hydrogen-powered aircraft.
These innovations are setting the stage for the future of sustainable air mobility. For a deeper dive, join the conversation with Lucas Marchesini, CEO/CTO of Manta Aircraft, and Allan Behrens from Taxal.
