About Wingcopter
Wingcopter develops electric vertical-takeoff delivery and surveying aircraft around its patented tilt-rotor architecture. The Wingcopter 198 rises on dedicated lift thrust, then rotates its forward propulsion units for efficient fixed-wing cruise. The aircraft carries as much as 4.7 kilograms, reaches 90 kilometres per hour and has a specified maximum range of 94 kilometres, supporting medical logistics, parcel routes and LiDAR mapping beyond visual line of sight.
Eight motors, two batteries and redundant airspeed, heading and positioning sensors provide fault tolerance, while hot-swappable battery packs reduce ground time. Control-station software handles mission planning, aircraft command and operational monitoring, and component data feeds a maintenance system for fleet reliability. Wingcopter supplies the aircraft alongside delivery operations and implementation programmes, including routes intended to connect difficult-to-reach communities and healthcare facilities.
