Efficient fixed-wing flight

Fly at 16 m/s (36 mph) for up to 59 minutes per flight for large coverage.

61 MP camera

WingtraOne can fly higher than drones limited to 20 MP cameras, so you capture more ground and more detail with every picture and a larger area per flight.

No more GCPs, checkpoints only

With an onboard high-precision PPK GNSS receiver you no longer need to lay out ground control points (GCPs). Use as few as three checkpoints to verify your map quality.

Lower image overlaps

High quality optics means you can reconstruct your map reliably even with lower overlaps. This means more new ground covered per flight line and maximum coverage per flight.

Numbers refer to our coverage and labor cost calculator and the most widely used competitor drone and camera models. This number can vary depending on factors such as overlap, camera model and altitude. The model takes into account data collection only. Flight planning, setting up GCPs, data processing, time to relocate between flights are not taken into account in this model.

Cut your costs

Faster data collection and expanded coverage ultimately mean your team spends less time in the field, lowering the man-hour costs associated with data collection.

Faster data collection and expanded coverage mean fewer people in the field for less time, lowering the man-hour costs associated with data collection.

These three ports totaling an area of 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) were mapped in three days with an absolute horizontal accuracy of 0.6 in (1.5 cm). All figures are estimates and do not include post-processing and final output costs. Estimates are based on a 1,500 USD per day charge by the survey company.

A drone for mapping anywhere

Thanks to its VTOL design, WingtraOne can take-off and land almost anywhere—even in confined spaces or on rough terrain. This enables you to collect data where other drones cannot.

WingtraOne’s camera never comes into contact with the ground, meaning no debris scratching your camera lens and thus a longer equipment lifetime.

"We surveyed 300 ha (741 acres) in less than two hours with a WingtraOne. This mapping project would have not been possible with conventional drones because of their coverage limits or space needed for take-off and landing."

Survey data quality that will set you apart

Equipped with a 61 MP full-frame camera powered by Sony, the WingtraOne takes sharp and undistorted nadir images with high pixel density, resulting in a GSD of down to 0.7 cm / px.

* WingtraOne’s maximum tested flight time is 59 mins. However, the flight time of any drone is influenced by many factors and should not be expected to be uniform. Read this article for more information.

** Using the RGB61 or Sony RX1R II camera and a PPK module. This level of accuracy is achievable under optimal conditions, on hard surfaces, using a well-established base station or correction data from CORS network. The results can be validated with high-accuracy checkpoints.

*** You should expect different results depending on environmental conditions and flight parameters. Specifically, temperature, altitude above sea level, side overlap, wind speed and transition altitude affect the behavior of drones and the flight time.

What's included in the bundle?

Flying in wind

WingtraOne can safely fly and capture data in sustained winds up to 12 m/s (27 mph) and gusts up to 18 m/s (40 mph). 

12 m/s (27 mph) sustained wind at cruise height (120 m, 400 ft) corresponds to approximately 8 m/s (19 mph) measured on the ground with the wind measurement tool provided in the Wingtra pilot box.

Tipping expectations

Strong winds and uneven ground can cause the WingtraOne to tip over. Generally, this is not a problem since only some scratches might occur while the robustness of the system is not compromised. 

Landings in the home point zone are always very accurate and predictable compared to belly landings. In light winds and calm conditions, WingtraOne lands smoothly on its tail.

These ratings are based on a popular customer satisfaction survey methodology known as Customer Effort Score (CES). Customer Effort Score (CES) is a customer service metric that measures user experience with a product or service.

After Wingtra’s customer request has been processed, customers receive an e-mail asking them to rank their experience on a seven-point scale ranging from “Very Difficult” to “Very Easy.” This determines how much effort was required for them to get their request resolved.

For simplification purposes, the ratings have been proportionally scaled down and rounded to a 5-star rating system, (e.g 6 on the 7-scale equals to 4 on a 5-star scale).
