Wingtra AG designs and builds vertical take-off and landing drones for mapping, surveying, mining, agriculture, and construction. Its main product is a fixed-wing drone that can take off and land vertically, enabling efficient, long-range data collection for field inspection and monitoring. The drones are controlled by WingtraPilot software to capture high-quality aerial data that can be processed into 2D maps and 3D models. This combination of VTOL capability, fixed-wing efficiency, and integrated data processing helps professionals in mining, agriculture, construction, and surveying obtain precise geospatial information. Wingtra’s goal is to provide capable drones and software that enable accurate surveillance, monitoring, and geospatial analysis across these industries.

↑ 2%ANA Holdings and Wingtra partner to deploy advanced drone services in Japan. 4 hours ago ANA Holdings (ANA HD) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Swiss industrial drone manufacturer Wingtra AG to evaluate the deployment of wide-area surveying and inspection services across Japan. The collaboration, which was announced March 16, 2026, aims to leverage Wingtra's vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft technology to establish an advanced data observation service, enabling efficient infrastructure inspections and rapid disaster assessments. The partnership aligns with ANA HD's Medium-term Corporate Strategy for FY2026-2028, which targets the launch of commercial drone services by 2027. By combining ANA HD's extensive aviation safety expertise with Wingtra's innovative drone technology, the companies seek to overcome the challenges traditionally faced by conventional drones in wide-area surveys and inspections. A recent demonstration project at Mount Unzen-Fugen in Nagasaki Prefecture showcased the feasibility of the technology. The Wingtra drone surveyed approximately 150 hectares (1.5 km2) in a single 30-minute flight, surpassing the performance of conventional rotary-wing drones. The high-precision survey data collected enabled the detection of minute cracks and structural deformations in the surveyed facilities. "We are thrilled to team up with Wingtra to scale our drone solutions across the surveying and inspection landscape," said Yoshiaki Tsuda, Executive Vice President of ANA HD. "Combining Wingtra's innovation with our airline expertise allows us to provide robust solutions for Japan's infrastructure monitoring and disaster response." Following the successful demonstration, ANA HD is discussing a domestic sales agency agreement for Wingtra's latest drone, the WingtraRAY, while also evaluating the provision of comprehensive support services, including aircraft deployment, operations, pilot training, and maintenance. ANA HD is also considering supporting the acquisition of what it calls a "Class 1 Type Certification," Japan's highest national safety standard for unmanned aircraft operations, leveraging its advanced aviation safety expertise. This certification would enable more advanced and extensive services, including future "Level 4" operations, allowing beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights over populated areas without visual observers. "Japan represents a robust market with significant potential for industrial drone adoption, and we are eager to partner with ANA HD to accelerate this growth," said Karsten Robbins, Vice President of Sales at Wingtra. "ANA's expertise in safety and operational excellence makes it the ideal partner to expand the use of our high-precision VTOL fixed-wing solutions across multiple industries." As the partnership progresses, ANA HD and Wingtra are poised to revolutionize the surveying and inspection landscape in Japan, offering advanced drone-based solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and data accuracy.
