TheArsenale Aero is built by a small, founder-led team combining decades of automotive and creative industry experience with hands-on aviation and test-pilot expertise.
With over 30 years of experience across the automotive, media and creative industries, Pat Meignan has built his career at the intersection of mobility, design and culture.
A former magazine publisher and Creative Director of the Renault F1 Team, he went on to lead his own creative agency before founding TheArsenale, the international platform dedicated to the future of mobility.
Today, Pat works as an international consultant for automotive and mobility brands and has become an early advocate and pioneer of the emerging eVTOL and personal aviation industry.
With TheArsenale AERO, he brings these worlds together with one ambition: to make personal flight a reality.
Jilis Slinger is an aviation entrepreneur, test pilot and eVTOL pioneer, driven by a lifelong obsession with flight and the ambition to radically rethink personal aviation.
Combining the instincts of a pilot with the mindset of an inventor, Jilis has spent years exploring how lightweight engineering, electric propulsion and vertical flight can open the skies to a new generation of users.
As the aviation force behind TheArsenale AERO, he brings hands-on flying experience, technical vision and an uncompromising approach to performance and safety.
For Jilis, the future of mobility is not only on the road. It's in the air.
Ricardo Mayorga is the commercial force behind TheArsenale.
With a rare instinct for people, products and opportunities, he has developed a highly personal approach to sales — combining deep product knowledge, trust and an ability to turn extraordinary machines into compelling propositions for clients around the world.
From hypercars and motorcycles to boats and emerging flying vehicles, Ricardo operates across TheArsenale's international network, connecting exceptional products with collectors, entrepreneurs and early adopters.
At TheArsenale AERO, he leads the commercial strategy and customer experience, bringing a new generation of personal aircraft to market.
He doesn't just sell mobility. He creates desire for what comes next.
