2. VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) Capabilities:

The WingtraOne is a VTOL drone, meaning it takes off and lands like a multirotor but transitions to fixed-wing flight for more efficient data collection over large areas. This design combines the flexibility of multirotor drones with the endurance and range of fixed-wing UAVs.

• Vertical Take-Off and Landing: No need for runways or catapults, making it ideal for confined areas or uneven terrain.
• Fixed-Wing Efficiency: After take-off, the WingtraOne transitions into a fixed-wing mode for longer flights, allowing it to cover large areas efficiently.

3. Payload Options:

The WingtraOne is designed to be a versatile mapping platform, supporting several high-quality cameras and sensors for different applications.

• Sony RX1R II (42MP): The most popular payload for high-accuracy mapping and photogrammetry, capable of achieving GSD (Ground Sampling Distance) as low as 0.7 cm/px. Ideal for projects requiring very high-resolution imagery.
• Sony a6100 (24MP): Provides high-quality imagery for general mapping applications.
• MicaSense RedEdge-MX: A multispectral camera designed for agricultural mapping, crop health monitoring, and precision farming. Collects data across five spectral bands for detailed vegetation analysis.
• Oblique Camera Systems: For advanced 3D mapping and city modeling, WingtraOne can carry payloads that capture oblique images at multiple angles, providing data for complex terrain models and building facades.
• Quantum Systems’ LiDAR Payload (COMING SOON): The drone is expected to support LiDAR payloads for creating highly detailed 3D models of terrain and vegetation in near future models.

4. RTK/PPK for High Accuracy:

The WingtraOne comes with RTK/PPK technology for centimeter-level positioning accuracy, minimizing the need for Ground Control Points (GCPs).

• Real-Time Kinematic (RTK): Provides real-time corrections during flight, ensuring high positional accuracy during data capture.
• Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK): Allows for post-flight data correction, enhancing accuracy even further and ensuring reliable results in areas with poor satellite reception.
• Accuracy: Achieves down to 1 cm horizontal and 3 cm vertical accuracy, depending on the payload and conditions.

5. Flight Time and Coverage:

The WingtraOne is optimized for long-endurance flights and can cover vast areas in a single mission.

• Flight Time: Up to 59 minutes per flight, depending on the payload and flight conditions.
• Max Coverage: Up to 1100 hectares (2700 acres) in a single flight at 3 cm/px GSD, making it one of the most efficient drones for large-scale mapping projects.
• Terrain Following: The drone features a terrain-following mode, which automatically adjusts altitude to ensure consistent GSD across uneven terrain.

6. Mission Planning and Software:

The WingtraOne is compatible with the WingtraPilot software, which offers intuitive mission planning and control, allowing operators to efficiently execute complex surveying and mapping missions.

• Wingtra Pilot Software: The flight planning software is easy to use, enabling users to define waypoints, set the desired altitude, and define the coverage area. The software optimizes flight routes for maximum efficiency.
• Terrain Following: Automatically adjusts flight altitude to follow terrain, ensuring consistent data collection over uneven landscapes.
• Fail-Safe Features: Includes features like automatic return-to-home and mission resume after unexpected interruptions (e.g., low battery or lost signal).

7. Camera and Imaging Capabilities:

The drone’s camera payloads are designed to capture high-resolution, georeferenced images for use in orthophotos, point clouds, and 3D models.

• Sony RX1R II (42MP): Produces ultra-high-resolution images (up to 0.7 cm/px GSD) with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for land surveying, construction monitoring, and mining applications.
• Sony a6100 (24MP): A versatile camera for general mapping, capable of delivering 1.2 cm/px GSD.
• MicaSense RedEdge-MX: Multispectral camera for agricultural analysis and vegetation monitoring, capable of capturing data in five spectral bands.

8. Applications:

• Land Surveying: Captures highly accurate, georeferenced imagery for producing topographic maps, orthophotos, and 3D terrain models.
• Mining and Aggregates: Measures stockpile volumes, maps large mining sites, and tracks changes over time.
• Construction: Tracks site progress, monitors earthworks, and produces as-built documentation.
• Agriculture: The multispectral payload can be used for crop health analysis, precision farming, and yield optimization.
• Environmental Monitoring: Maps changes in landscapes, forests, and coastal areas for environmental studies.
• Infrastructure Inspection: Maps large infrastructure projects such as railways, roads, pipelines, and power lines.

9. Data Processing and Integration:

The WingtraOne is compatible with a wide variety of data processing software to generate high-quality maps, 3D models, and analysis outputs.

• WingtraPilot Data: Captured images can be processed in industry-standard photogrammetry software like Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, or DroneDeploy.
• Post-Flight Processing: The PPK workflow allows for centimeter-level data accuracy by correcting GNSS data after the flight.
