Overview
The survey and mapping drone built for faster results and confidence in the field. WingtraRAY delivers what matters for survey and mapping work. Fly with peace of mind—anywhere. Feel safe and confident, even over roads and populated areas (Enabled by the parachute add-on. Approvals vary by region). Get your surveys done faster. Survey 100 ha (250 ac) in 10 min and deliver CAD-ready files in one smooth flow. Take on more mapping jobs with purpose-built sensors. Swappable sensors for high-quality capture across a wide range of mapping and survey tasks. Cleared for US operations. More information. Get your surveys done faster. No matter the time window, you’ll get it done with fast data capture and a single workflow that gets you to deliverables in the same day. 100 ha (250 ac) in just 10 minutes. 40% Faster than the previous generation (WingtraOne GEN II). 10x Faster than multicopter drones. 30x Faster than terrestrial methods. Capture more in short time windows. Cover more ground, faster. WingtraRAY flies at up to 22 m/s, so you can cover small or large areas faster—even when time is tight. Capture more ground per image. The 61 MP full-frame sensor delivers more detail with less overlap—so you complete projects in fewer flights. Get the maximum coverage for your resolution. Adaptive speed automatically adjusts the drone’s pace based on your output needs, maximizing coverage on every flight. Set up in five minutes. Unpack, power on, follow the interactive checklist, and launch—no calibration needed, not even for LIDAR. Switch sensors or batteries in seconds. Swap batteries and sensors—from RGB to LIDAR or multispectral—and get back in the air fast. No cables, no tools. Go from field to clean aerial data without friction. Wingtra software connects office work with field capture, helping teams plan, fly, geotag and hand off processing-ready aerial data in one connected workflow. See Wingtra software. Anyone can fly it. Everyone gets results. WingtraRAY makes it easy for you to collect survey-grade data—no extra training. Follow the checklist, fly, and deliver results to your team fast. One-person field ops. Full team productivity. WingtraRAY is built for one-person operation—so while they collect data in the field, others can stay focused on analysis or client delivery. Fly with peace of mind—anywhere. Feel safe flying—even in urban areas—with every feature designed to help you focus on the job, not the risk, so you can get your data right the first time. (Enabled by the parachute add-on). A parachute built for legal, safe flights. WingtraRAY’s parachute deploys automatically, or you can trigger it manually. It’s built to protect people below and help you avoid waivers, delays, and legal risks. Survey 9 out of 10 projects in the US without long or complex FAA approvals. FAA category 3 OOP certification. Legally fly over: Roads and infrastructure. Urban and populated areas. Survey over roads and populated areas legally and safely—no waiver, no waiting. (Enabled by the parachute add-on) EASA compliance. Parachute MOC 2512 & 2511. Urban jobs just got easier. WingtraRAY’s parachute unlocks the ability to get permits for flights over roads, buildings, or populated areas—even in countries where it wasn’t possible before. Certification. EASA C3. No permit needed for open land. WingtraRAY is certified for Europe’s Open Category. That means you can fly over open land with no people nearby—no formal approval required. STS-02 declarations for BVLOS with airspace observers. EASA C6. Fly BVLOS with a simple declaration. WingtraRAY qualifies for Europe’s STS-02 standard scenario for BVLOS with an airspace observer. Just file a declaration—no full risk assessment, or lengthy approval needed. Experience the next level of safety and reliability in every flight. Get the right data the first time. WingtraRAY is built for reliability—from automated pre-flight checks to stable flights in wind—so you leave the site with the data you need, avoiding costly rework. Avoid obstacles mid-air. Obstacle avoidance gives you extra security during cruise. Detect static obstacles like cranes or trees 100 meters ahead, and fly confidently even when objects aren’t on maps. Return to home safe, even if a battery fails. A backup battery design ensures the drone can return to home safely—even if one battery would fail mid-flight. NDAA, Blue and Green UAS cleared (US). WingtraRAY is NDAA, Blue and Green UAS cleared in the US—meeting the highest cybersecurity standards and opening the door to civil government and sensitive projects. Take on more jobs with purpose-built sensors. Deliver more kinds of results—from mm inspection to LIDAR to high-accuracy 3D models—all on one survey-focused platform that’s ready to grow with you.

Registered civil engineer, GIS professional and FAA remote pilot with 30+ years in engineering, surveying and GIS. I would say that you’ll start seeing an ROI immediately. I mean, this is not a consumer hobbyist drone. This is a professional, technical piece of equipment. So, just like if you have to go buy surveying equipment—that’s not cheap. I think for what you get, the Wingtra is a tremendous value compared to other high-end mapping drones.
