It is understood to be in connection with a number of patents held by Nordic Unmanned that are due to run out within a few years, relating to a small part of the drone’s hardware. Nordic Unmanned is believed to have acquired the patents as part of the AirRobot deal.Founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Bobby Healy, Manna has developed aviation-grade drones that fly at 80km/h and deliver goods including groceries, takeaways and medicines, within a three-kilometre radius in less than three minutes.
