MANTA is a step up to a larger, more powerful category, and is recommended for experienced pilots who have gained considerable experience in the MAKO-BARRACUDA Power+ category (or similar categories from other manufacturers) over the years but want something more and something different in addition to the flying comfort of these suits.
The name MANTA may sound familiar to those familiar with Intrudair suits but this is something completely different, this is a high performance acro suit in the big wings category tested in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel!
MANTA is made for flock, backfly, dynamic, carving, XRW flights just like MAKO but for those who want to go one step up in performance and glide ratio. With MANTA you can fly the usual freestyle acro, backfly figures but with a higher glide ratio with more reserve and more power.
MAIN FEATURES:
same performance and stability in back or belly flying
soft transitions
special Intrudair leading edge + performance foam
optimized low NACA wings profile
increased wingspan + optimized wing profile, higher average glide ratio, higher flare in the stabilisation.
Monochamber design
bootie fix system
backfly inlets (of course)
FEEL THE POWER, LOOK FOR THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!

New Leading Edge:
Thanks to the new leading edge, dense armwing ribbing and legwings tail design, the suit's performance and flare increased by at least 10-20%, this way the suit can catch up with the older, larger wing-surfaced models. Also the smoothness provides extra agility, easy handling and stability.
