Mapping Drone

February 16, 2025

 

 

The WingtraOne GEN II is a mapping drone designed to deliver fast and accurate survey data. The WingtraOne GEN II is a tailsitter vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drone, weighing just 8.1 lbs (3.7 kg). Its unique design includes only four moving parts: two rotors for propulsion and two flaps for steering. This simplicity ensures reliability and ease of use.

One of the standout features of the WingtraOne GEN II is its impressive flight time. With two 99 Wh batteries, the drone can fly for up to 59 minutes under ideal conditions. This extended flight time allows for large-area coverage, making it ideal for extensive surveying projects. The drone boasts a flight speed of 16 m/s (35.8 mph) and can withstand wind gusts up to 18 m/s (40 mph). It also features a bi-directional radio link with a range of 10 km (6 mi) in direct line of sight.

Equipped with a high-resolution 61 MP camera, the WingtraOne GEN II captures detailed aerial images with minimal ground control points (GCPs) required. This means faster data collection and reduced labor costs. The drone's photogrammetry and LIDAR compatibility make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from mapping highways to industrial complexes. Its high-quality optics allow for reliable map reconstruction with lower image overlaps, covering more ground per flight. This efficiency translates to significant cost savings, as fewer people are needed in the field for shorter periods.

The WingtraOne GEN II is ideal for large-scale projects that were previously challenging to map with traditional drones. Its ability to cover extensive areas quickly and accurately makes it a valuable tool for industries such as agriculture, construction, and environmental monitoring.
