Overview

The Wingcopter 198 is a high-performance, durable and versatile unmanned aerial system (UAS) designed for logistics and LiDAR surveying applications. With its unique aerodynamic design, patented tilt-rotor technology, and advanced redundant flight control systems, it enables efficient beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights over long distances. The aircraft features a maximum range of 94 km, speed of 90 km/h, and payload capacity of 4.7 kg, making it ideal for cargo delivery and surveying operations.

Flagship features

  • Patented tilt-rotor technology enables vertical take-off/landing and efficient fixed-wing flight
  • Three individual winches allow separate package drop-offs per flight
  • 10 drones can be controlled by one operator via LTE/5G with Iridium satellite backup
  • Designed for beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) autonomous flights
  • Fully autonomous operation with AI-based visual obstacle avoidance, downward cameras for precision landing/drop
  • Targets last-mile delivery to rural, remote, and hard-to-reach locations (e.g., islands, offshore platforms)
