A VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drone for mapping and surveying, uniquely combining long range, heavy payloads and ease of use.

Project description

A pioneering new drone suitable for complex business applications enters the market

In between sophisticated and very expensive military drones and simple ones available at toy stores are a growing class of drones for commercial use. Their applications include the collection of precision data for mapping out leaf coverage or inspecting infrastructure, and carrying out search and rescue missions in inaccessible areas, in difficult conditions and potentially with large payloads. The Swiss SME Wingtra, selling vertical take-off and landing mapping drones globally since 2017, has added a new product to its growing portfolio to cover these needs and more. The EU-funded WingtraOne project is helping the team bring their pioneering fully autonomous drone by the same name to market.
