WingtraOne Unmanned aerial system

Redefining standards in aerial surveying

The WingtraOne VTOL mapping drone is capable of performing fast aerial surveys across wide or hard-to-reach areas and producing reliable maps with unparalleled resolution and accuracy.

WingtraOne comes equipped with a choice of Sony high-resolution mapping cameras or a professional multispectral camera by Micasense. Cameras can easily be exchanged in the field, making the same drone suitable for different applications. Using the intuitive flight planning software and the fully autonomous flying operations, surveyors can capture geo-tagged aerial images with virtually no piloting skills.

WingtraOne’s drone image outputs can be processed by all major photogrammetry software to create highly-accurate orthomosaics and 3D models.

• Temperature: -10 to +40 °C (14 to 104 °F)
• Max. take-off altitude above sea level - 2500 m (8200 ft), With high-altitude propellers it is possible to take off from up to 4800 m (15,700 ft) and fly up to 5000 m (16,400 ft) AMSL
• Weather - IP54, not recommended to fly in fog, rain and snow
• Ground Control Points required - No (with PPK option), Using 3 checkpoints to verify the accuracy is recommended
• Auto-Landing accuracy - < 5 m (< 16 ft)
