About Wingtra
Wingtra builds a professional aerial surveying and mapping system that tightly integrates a purpose-built drone, high-end sensors, high-precision GNSS positioning, and dedicated software in one connected workflow.
The company mission is to make professional-grade geospatial deliverables and aerial insights more accessible to teams with mixed levels of drone and surveying expertise, so that organizations can manage resources, infrastructure, and assets more effectively.
Our story and focus
Wingtra started as a robotics research project at the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The early work focused on vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft and autonomous flight.
The team quickly saw that VTOL tailsitter drone technology could solve real inefficiencies in traditional surveying workflows while reducing points of failure. That insight became the company’s entire focus.
Today, the full research and development team works exclusively on drone solutions for surveying and mapping.
