About
About Wingtra
Wingtra combines vertical launch and landing with efficient fixed-wing cruise for photogrammetry, lidar and multispectral collection. WingtraRAY is the current aircraft, offering interchangeable sensors, dual batteries, radio-plus-LTE telemetry, an integrated parachute option and automated obstacle sensing for one-person field deployment.
The active workflow now centres on WingtraRAY, WingtraPilot and cloud processing from mission planning through georeferencing and deliverable preparation. Surveyors use the system across construction, mining, agriculture, topographic mapping and infrastructure inspection, with accuracy and coverage tied to the selected payload and flight plan.
