Ready to fly in five minutes

The WingtraOne drone comes with a tablet featuring WingtraPilot, the built-in app for easily managing data acquisition. The intuitive app includes various ways to prepare flight plans as well as monitor and review missions during flight.

5 min setup

Take off in less than five minutes, including drone setup, all pre-flight steps and planning of a simple mapping mission.

WingtraPilot guarantees full functionality of the drone before the flight by running background checks like battery health, GPS reception and test images.

More details

Fully autonomous

Automated launch, in-flight data collection and landing without human interaction.

Pause the survey mission at any time to make the drone loiter in the air, or trigger return to home (RTH), causing the drone to fly back to its take-off location automatically.

From both of these states at any time, you can resume the survey mission, and the drone will start capturing images from where it stopped.

More details

Manual take-over with in-app controls

Take manual control of the drone at any time during landing. Use the intuitive controls on the tablet to adjust its position mid-air and land safely.

Real-time monitoring

No internet connection in the field? No problem. You can always download offline maps in advance while you’re still connected to the internet and use them at the mapping location. 

More details

For a seamless mission, simply import KML files directly from GIS programs. WingtraPilot will construct the optimal flight path to cover the area.

More details

On-site inspection

All aerial images and geolocation information is stored on a single SD card and can be inspected in the field on the WingtraPilot tablet for early quality checks.

WingtraHub is our integrated image geotagging software. If you have a WingtraOne with a PPK module, the high-precision PPK processing will give you centimeter-accuracy geotags for flight images. WingtraOne images can be geotagged in any Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system such as WGS84.

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.

* As measured with the wind measurement tool from the pilot box continuously over 30 seconds—approximately 2 m (7 ft) above the ground (raise the tool above your head to measure, do not stand close to large objects like buildings or trees since these are conducive to turbulence)

What is Remote ID

Remote ID will provide basic identification of drones in flight as well as the location of their ground control stations by air to public safety, law enforcement officials and the public. Hence, Remote ID is often referred to as the “digital license plate” of drones.

This critical information will reduce the risk of drone interference with other drones or aircraft, ensure public safety, and enable more complex drone operations such as BVLOS flights.

With its WiFi module, the WingtraOne Gen II is ready for future remote ID regulations. The exact regulations are still being developed, and Wingtra will provide the required software update by September 2022. 

Drones produced after September 2022 are required to broadcast remote ID over WiFi.

Anyone will be allowed to fly any generation WingtraOne at least until September 2023 even if it doesn’t have remote ID 

Drones produced after January 2023, are required to broadcast remote ID over WiFi.
