Problem
Traditional aerial surveying relies on manned aircraft or multi-rotor drones that have limited flight time, require complex logistics, and often produce inconsistent data quality, making large‑scale mapping projects costly and time‑consuming.
Solution
Wingtra offers a vertical‑takeoff‑and‑landing (VTOL) fixed‑wing drone platform designed for professional surveying and mapping. The aircraft combines the long endurance and coverage of fixed‑wing flight with the precision and ease of operation of a multirotor, enabling autonomous missions from a single portable ground station. Integrated high‑resolution cameras and GNSS/IMU sensors capture georeferenced imagery that is processed into accurate orthomosaics, point clouds, and digital surface models. The system’s automated flight planning, real‑time telemetry, and post‑flight data pipelines reduce the need for specialized pilots and streamline the workflow from data capture to deliverable. By delivering consistent, high‑quality geospatial data with minimal on‑site setup, Wingtra lowers operational costs for large‑area surveys.
Target Audience
Primary customers are surveying firms, construction and infrastructure companies, and government agencies that need efficient, high‑accuracy aerial mapping for land development, monitoring, and asset management.
