Mangon Aeronautics was a Draconis Combine aerospace fighter manufacturer best known for having produced the Sholagar.

Overview[edit]

In 3025, the corporation was in dire economic straits. The release of the Yotashuma Report, which claimed that the craft could become uncontrollable in some atmospheric conditions, damaged the company's reputation. Its stock prices only fell ever since. The Bureau of the Military was accepting bids to produce another light aerospace fighter for the Combine Admiralty. Many corporations were scrambling to land this contract, virtually a guaranteed monopoly. In the meantime, Mangon was not likely to be able to raise sufficient funds to correct the Sholagar's problem.[2]

Wakazashi Enterprises would acquire Mangon Aeronautics in 3042 and absorb it into its company.[1]
