About Wingtra

Wingtra is a Swiss company that makes professional vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones for surveying and mapping. Their flagship product, the WingtraOne, combines vertical take-off and landing with efficient fixed-wing flight to cover large areas. The WingtraOne can carry high-resolution mapping payloads like the 42MP Sony RX1R II, capturing survey-grade data at GSDs as low as 0.7 cm/px. It boasts flight times up to 59 minutes and can map areas 2-14 times larger than multicopter drones in a single flight. Its VTOL design allows it to take off and land almost anywhere without damaging its payload.

The WingtraOne is popular among surveyors and GIS professionals in industries like construction, mining, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. It offers a faster, safer, and more cost-effective way to collect high-quality geospatial data compared to traditional surveying methods. Designed for reliability and ease of use, it features automated flight planning and health monitoring systems. Wingtra has expanded with offices in the US and Europe to support its global customer base. In 2023, the company raised $22 million in Series B funding and added executives from geospatial leaders like Leica and Hexagon to its management team.
