Descripción del proyecto
Drones and footage from their cameras have become familiar sights over the past decade. Yet Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have only scratched the surface of their commercial potential. Drone technology is now evolving beyond its military roots to encompass a broad array of business applications. Goldman Sachs estimate that the commercial segment holds the most potential for growth, with a triple- digit CAGR over the next five years. They expect that by 2020 the global drone market size will grow by 42% in precision agriculture and 36% in inspection and monitoring of infrastructures.
WingtraOne is our revolutionary fully autonomous hybrid drone. It takes off automatically vertically, and is therefore runway independent meaning it can be flown anywhere to map unreachable areas. After take-off it transitions into flying like a plane, capable of covering a far superior range than other multirotor drones even in technically difficult high winds. Nevertheless, for drones to have real application they require payload capacity. WingtraOne’s, superior payload weight permits it to carry the best in class cameras and Post-Processed Kinematics (PPK) technology. This is revolutionary for industries such as surveying and agriculture.
We are a spin-off from the ETH Autonomous System Lab in Zürich. As a team, our mission has been to create a drone that could combine the usability of multirotors but the coverage of fixed wing with heavy payload capacity. We incorporated Wingtra and further developed our drone. We now seek non-diluting funding to exploit the commercial opportunity made possible thanks to our revolutionary drone which received very promising early signs from the market.
