WingtraOne GEN II

The WingtraOne GEN II mapping drone is the perfect tool for geospatial professionals who need to perform aerial drone surveys for large projects. With its unique set of features, the WingtraOne GEN II allows you to minimize your time flying and get more work done. The fixed-wing flight is extremely efficient, allowing you to cover a large area in a short amount of time.

Because WingtraOne can fly higher than drones that are limited to 20 MP cameras, you can capture a wider area with each flight and more ground and detail in each picture. And with the onboard high-precision PPK GNSS receiver, you don't need to worry about ground control points (GCPs).

With as few as three checkpoints, you can get the accuracy you need for your project. So if you're looking for a mapping drone that can help you save time and increase your productivity, look no further than the WingtraOne GEN II.

Features

5 min setup

Fly in under five minutes, including drone setup, complete pre-flight procedures, and easy mapping mission planning.

Pre-flight checklist

WingtraPilot ensures that the drone is fully functional before flight by performing background checks such as battery health, GPS reception, and test images.

Fully autonomous

WingtraOne GEN II provides automated launch, data collection in flight, and landing without the need for human intervention.

Pause and resume

You can pause the survey mission at any point to make the drone hover in the air or activate return to home (RTH) to cause the drone to automatically return to its launch site. You can continue the survey trip from either of these states at any time, and the drone will begin gathering photographs from where it left off.

Manual take-over with in-app controls

You can take manual control of the drone at any point during the landing process. Use the tablet's intuitive controls to adjust its position mid-air and land safely.

Real-time monitoring

Displays data from a range of up to 10 km, including flight location, altitude,, and mission progress (6 mi).

Smart voice

Gives you comprehensive audio feedback throughout the mission.

Camera swap

Easily interchangeable camera that only requires a single standard USB-C connection. Within minutes, switch between RGB, oblique, and multispectral cameras.

High-altitude propellers

With the addition of the optional propellers, the maximum takeoff height is increased to 4800 meters (15,700 feet) above mean sea level (AMSL), and the maximum data collection altitude is increased to 5000 meters (16,400 feet) above mean sea level (AMSL).

Corridor mapping

Long, narrow areas can be quickly and effectively covered. Useful for constructing or inspecting roads, inspecting railroad tracks, pipelines, and electrical lines, and conducting environmental research.

Oblique camera

Switch to the Sony Oblique a1600 to map vertical structures. This wide-angle camera is mounted on a tilted axis and is suited for mapping vertical structures, enabling you to produce high-resolution 3D meshes.

Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)

Full mission capability is maintained with or without contact with the ground station.

Advanced mission planning

Population-counting algorithms with multi-area planning and zero overlaps.

KML import

Simply import KML files from GIS tools for a problem-free mission. In order to cover the region efficiently, WingtraPilot will create the best possible flight route.

Offline maps

In the field and without access to the internet? It's not a problem. Offline maps can be downloaded in advance while you're still online and then used at the mapping location.

Integrated PPK post-processing

Our integrated image geotagging program is called WingtraHub. The high-precision PPK processing will provide you with centimeter-accurate geotags for flight photographs if you have a WingtraOne with a PPK module. Images from WingtraOne can be geotagged using WGS84 or any other Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system.

On-site inspection

The WingtraPilot tablet allows for in-field quality inspections of all aerial photos and geolocation data saved on a single SD card.

Saved mission

Saved missions can be loaded with a single click for time savings and consistent results from recurring surveys.

Battery swap and resume

Automatically breaks up long missions into smaller chunks, pausing the aircraft while the batteries are being changed and then resuming.

Multi-flight geotagging

Provides the ability to georeference several flights at the end of the day, which saves time while working in the field.

Single SD card workflow

Eliminates the possibility of missing or incorrect data, especially for the PPK workflow. Engineered and assembled in Switzerland To ensure the highest quality standard, each drone is put through more than 300 rigorous performance assurance tests.

Industry-leading reliability

More than 100,000 flights and 6 years of ongoing testing and improvements will guarantee the highest level of uptime for your business operations. Payload protection. The camera on a WingtraOne never touches the ground, shielding it from abrasion, dust, gr,ime, and snow, especially in difficult terrain.

Terrain following

The terrain following feature uses global terrain models to permit secure and efficient mapping from steady elevations,, even in the most mountainous regions. In WingtraPilot, the terrain's elevation and the absolute flight altitude are graphically displayed.

Predictive self-diagnosis

WingtraOne uses cutting-edge machine learning algorithms based on data from thousands of flights to identify component faults in batteries, motors, and servos. Thus, WingtraPilot can alert you before any potential issue arises, ensuring that you always fly with the safest gear.

Custom elevation data

Use your own elevation data instead of the default terrain data from the shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM).

Redundant sensors

Magnetometer, IMU, and GPS sensors are fully redundant.

Adaptive geofence

Allows for the dynamic restriction of the flight radius to stop flyaways.

Lights

Optional green and red LED location lights to improve visibility and show flight direction.

Flight time

Payload: Using a heavier payload reduces flight time. For example, when switching from the MicaSense RedEdge-MX camera to the heavier Sony RX1R II camera, the flight time reduces from 59 minutes to 54 minutes.
Altitude above sea level: As the air gets thinner with increasing altitude above sea level, drone flight time is reduced. At the same time, WingtraOne will fly faster in high altitudes, which means that the coverage is only marginally reduced. For example, the RX1R II came- ra covers 400 ha (988 ac) in 54 minutes at 0-500 m (0-1640 ft) above sea level and 350 ha (865 ac) in 42 minutes at 2000 m (6562 ft) above sea level (with 3 cm (1.2 in)/px GSD).
Transition height: Because the WingtraOne uses significantly more energy while hovering, the transition altitude affects flight time. A higher transition altitude will result in a reduced flight time.
Wind: In stronger winds, drones consume more energy while flying and landing, which means missions will end up with shorter flight times.
Temperature: As temperature influences air density, it impacts flight time directly. Generally, higher temperatures mean lower flight times.

Coverage

The RX1R II camera can cover 30 percent more area at 3 cm (1.2 in)/px GSD resolution than the a6100 camera in the same amount of time.
On the other hand, if you need to fly at a limited altitude, for example at 120 m (400 ft), the a6100 covers more area than the RX1R II. The flight with the a6100 results in a GSD of 2.4 cm (0.93 in)/px, which is a lower resolution compared to the 1.5 cm (0.6 in)/px of the RX1R II. Considering this, it is really important to choose the right configuration for your use case and environment.

Job time

An important point that tends to get missed when focusing on flight time numbers is that job time (and efficiency) is actually not about flight time, but rather about how fast you can acquire data on a given area. For example, compared to muliticopers, the WingtraOne can acquire data up to 8x faster. And compared to most fixed-wings it’s twice as fast. So in many cases, the right camera and settings can get you the data you need faster, and faster in fact means less flight time.

Data collection speed

Up to 8x faster than multicopter drones
Up to 2x faster than standard fixed-wing drones
