Survey-grade VTOL drones for mapping, mining, and construction professionals

Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing Zurich 51–200 employees Founded 2016 Partnership

Wingtra designs and manufactures vertical-takeoff-and-landing drones for professional surveying and mapping. The stack (React, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL on AWS, plus embedded C++ and Qt for flight control) reflects a company balancing web-based cloud software (WingtraCloud platform) with embedded systems engineering. R&D-heavy hiring (40+ engineers at ETH Zurich) and active projects spanning flight planning, flight control, and payload development signal a product company in the middle of capability expansion—moving beyond initial VTOL designs toward a broader ecosystem of sensors, accessories, and regional channel partnerships.
