The WingtraRAY combines VTOL convenience with fixed-wing efficiency — launching vertically, flying efficiently, and delivering survey-grade results. 100 hectares in just 10 minutes. Set up in five. One platform, from flight plan to final deliverable.
AKDRONE is Alaska’s authorized Wingtra dealer. Whether you’re evaluating, ready to buy, or looking to expand your program — we’re your local team.
Built in Switzerland. Proven in Alaska.
From the Alps to the Alaska Range.
The WingtraRAY was engineered in Zurich for precision. Now it’s being put to work in the conditions that define Alaska operations — 30-knot winds, sub-zero temps, and terrain hours from the nearest road.
The WingtraRAY earns its reputation in the field — not on trade show floors. AKDRONE doesn’t just sell this platform, we fly it. Every system we deliver has been validated through real operations across Alaska before it reaches your team. Real conditions. Real data.
✓Checks All the Boxes.
Wingtra has been at the forefront of compliance and security as industry standards have evolved—achieving NDAA compliance, earning Blue UAS approval, and aligning with Green UAS requirements in its latest platforms.With FAA Category 3 certification for Operations Over People, WingtraRAY enables legal flight over roads, infrastructure, and populated areas without a waiver. When compliance matters, Wingtra is built for it.

What sensors are available for the WingtraRAY?
WingtraRAY supports swappable sensors — switch payloads in seconds with no cables or tools:
RGB Sensors
• MAP61 — 61MP full-frame, wide-angle lens (17mm), low oblique configuration. Most efficient coverage and best 3D capabilities. Up to 550 ha (1,360 ac) per flight at 120m. GSD down to 1.2 cm/px. 3 cm absolute accuracy with PPK.
• SURVEY61 — 61MP full-frame, low-distortion lens (35mm), nadir configuration. Highest quality photogrammetry with survey-grade accuracy. Up to 270 ha (670 ac) per flight at 120m. GSD down to 0.5 cm/px. 3 cm absolute accuracy with PPK.
• INSPECT — 61MP full-frame, tele lens (85mm), nadir configuration. Millimeter-resolution inspections. Up to 80 ha (200 ac) per flight at 120m. GSD down to 0.25 cm/px. 3 cm absolute accuracy with PPK.
• SURVEY24 — 24MP APS-C sensor, low-distortion lens (20mm), nadir configuration. The affordable mapping and surveying solution. Up to 330 ha (820 ac) per flight at 120m. GSD down to 1.2 cm/px.
LIDAR
• WingtraLIDAR — Easy-to-use, precise, and efficient. 110 pts/m² point density. Up to 460 ha (1,140 ac) per flight at 90m. 3 cm absolute accuracy with PPK. No calibration needed. Ideal for forestry, corridors, and terrain under vegetation canopy.
Multispectral
• RedEdge-P — MicaSense 5-band multispectral (R, G, B, RE, NIR) plus panchromatic. GSD down to 4 cm/px. Up to 180 ha per flight at 120m. 6 cm absolute accuracy with PPK. Agriculture, environmental monitoring, forestry, water management.
Can one person operate the WingtraRAY?
Yes. WingtraRAY is built for one-person field operations. Unpack, power on, follow the interactive checklist, and launch — no calibration needed, not even for LIDAR. While one person collects data in the field, the rest of the team stays focused on analysis or client delivery.
What does NDAA, Blue UAS, and Green UAS mean?
These are US cybersecurity and supply chain certifications:
• NDAA Compliant — No components from prohibited foreign manufacturers. Required for government contracts.
• Blue UAS Cleared — Approved by the Defense Innovation Unit for Department of Defense use.
• Green UAS Cleared — Approved by the Department of Interior for government operations.
WingtraRAY meets all three standards, making it eligible for federal, state, and tribal government projects — a critical advantage for Alaska operations.
Can the WingtraRAY fly over people and roads?
Yes, with the parachute add-on. WingtraRAY has FAA Category 3 OOP (Operations Over People) certification. This means you can legally survey over roads, infrastructure, and populated areas without applying for a waiver — covering 9 out of 10 US commercial drone projects.
What is PPK and why does it matter?
PPK (Post-Processed Kinematic) is a GNSS correction method that achieves survey-grade accuracy (~3 cm / 0.1 ft) without placing GCPs (Ground Control Points) on site. This eliminates hours of setup time per project and reduces field crew requirements. WingtraRAY has PPK processing built into the WingtraCLOUD workflow — no separate software needed.
What software does WingtraRAY use?
WingtraCLOUD is the integrated software platform: plan flights, monitor in real-time, process data, and share deliverables — all in one system. It supports 6,500+ coordinate systems, terrain following, 3D flight planning, and WingtraGROUND integration for base station workflows. No file conversions or app switching needed.
Does AKDRONE offer training on the WingtraRAY?
Yes. AKDRONE offers the official Wingtra Operator Training and Certification program — comprehensive in-person onboarding for up to five participants, conducted onsite.

About AKDRONE
15 years in the drone industry. Real drone pilots. Real Alaska operations.
We’re not just selling equipment — we use it. On a regular basis. In the same environment you do. Sub-zero launches on frozen rivers, high-wind coastal surveys, remote Arctic inspections with no cell service and no margin for error.
Everything we sell, we test extensively in Alaska conditions and use ourselves. Field tested in harsh conditions is vital to successful Alaskan missions — and that’s what separates AKDRONE from a catalog reseller.
When you buy from AKDRONE, you get a team that’s already flown the platform in your conditions and can support you from day one.
