Manta Aircraft has unveiled the restructuring of its new board. 

Joining the board are former Agusta Westland top managers including Giuseppe Orsi, Fabio Nannoni, and Sergio Biganzoli, as well as Eugenio Cremascoli from Avionord.

The newly appointed Board of Directors brings together a diverse group of experienced professionals and experts, each of whom boasts a proven track record in aviation top management, helicopter and aircraft design, marketing, and operations. Their collective experience and vision will play a pivotal role in steering Manta Aircraft through the upcoming phases of development and expansion.

A primary focus is to secure the next financing round (currently open) to finalize the platform design, develop core subsystems, and produce two 1:1 scale prototypes of the agile two-seater model and drone.

Lucas Marchesini, CEO of Manta Aircraft, said: “Our continuous growth and progress demanded this targeted realignment to be optimally positioned for impending milestones. We are extremely pleased to welcome these aviation heavyweights, who bring valuable expertise and know-how to our company.”
