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 has evolved beyond its military roots to encompass a broad array of business applications. Goldman Sachs estimates that the commercial segment holds the most potential for growth, with a triple-digit CAGR over these 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 autonomously and vertically and is, therefore, runway independent. That means it can be flown anywhere to map areas currently unreachable by available mapping solutions. After take-off, it transitions into flying like a plane, capable of covering 14 times the range of multirotor drones, even in technically difficult high winds. Also, commercially available drones lack the payload capacity required for many business applications. 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. With the WingtraOne there will for the first time be a commercially viable long-range solution. Anyone can make digital maps anywhere. We are a spin-off from the ETH Autonomous System Lab in Zurich. As a team, our mission has been to create a drone that combines the usability of multirotors with the coverage of fixed-wing drones with heavy payload capacity. We incorporated Wingtra and further developed our prototype drone. We now seek funding to finalise the development and exploit the commercial opportunity made possible thanks to our revolutionary drone which received very promising early signs from the market.
