Our take

Developing, producing, and commercializing drones, the UAV manufacturer Wingtra aims to make a globally positive impact with the production of their long-range multi-copters.

Standing out from the crowd, the WingtraOne drone is equipped with professional photogrammetry sensors, allowing the extraction of 3D information from photographs. Alongside this, Wingtra is the largest commercial VTOL player when it comes to surveying, construction, and precision agriculture.

Since its inception in 2017, Wingtra has partnered with many of the biggest equipment dealers in the world, including Propeller, Sony, AirData, and Esri. Along with distribution partners in 5 continents, Wingtra has been selling mapping drones globally ever since and believes going forward that their products will help not only increase work efficiency but also aid in saving the lives of people and animals. Recent funding will help the company move towards this goal, through a new expansion strategy that includes improving its current tech and adding new features.
