Wingcopter is a German drone technology company that develops, manufactures, sells and operates all-electric uncrewed aircraft systems, specializing in enhancing the logistics of urgently needed goods and remote sensing through high-end sensor systems. In a single 45-minute flight, the Wingcopter 198 can scan 1,000+ hectares, simultaneously capturing LiDAR and RGB data, allowing the system to generate an exceptionally high point density and precision. This makes it suitable even for the most demanding applications. Thanks to its patented tilt-rotor mechanism and proprietary software algorithms for seamless transition between two flight modes, the Wingcopter 198 can take off and land vertically like a multicopter, while flying long distances as efficiently and quickly as a fixed-wing aircraft, even in harsh weather conditions.

• Wingcopter drones for aerial surveying in Japan (Jan 13, 2026)

  Weiterstadt, Germany/Tokyo, Japan, January 7, 2026 – Wingcopter’s authorized partner in Japan, ITOCHU Corporation, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the practical use of Wingcopter’s long-range drones in aerial surveying together with PASCO Corporation and YellowScan Japan Co., Ltd. 

  The companies initially plan to use the Wingcopter 198 in disaster management where drone-based surveying is playing an increasingly important role, 

  (1) to create hazard maps and monitor ground deformation as part of effective pre-disaster prevention,

  (2) to gather information and assess damage in the event of a disaster, and

  (3) to measure terrain changes and develop recovery plans during post-disaster restoration.

  In a single 45-minute flight, the Wingcopter 198 can scan 1,000+ hectares, simultaneously capturing LiDAR and RGB data, allowing the system to generate an exceptionally high point density and precision. This makes it suitable even for the most demanding applications. 

   

• Wingcopter extends offering to LiDAR surveying (Jan 13, 2026)

  Weiterstadt, Germany,  10 February 2025 – Wingcopter, a leading German drone manufacturer, has announced that it will expand its offering beyond cargo drones to include the sale of long-range BVLOS LiDAR surveying solutions. For this, the Wingcopter 198, the company’s flagship product, will be equipped with superior laser scanning and camera systems, enabling the efficient and rapid collection of high-quality data. The aim is to give customers the opportunity to survey up to 37 miles (60 km) of linear infrastructure in one mission, carrying a 10 lbs (4.5 kg) sensor system. Potential use cases include the inspection of power lines, pipelines, railways and roads, as well as the mapping of terrain and vegetation that is difficult to access.
  
  The system allows to collect up to 570 pts/m2 with a sensor accuracy of 10 mm and a precision of 5 mm, significantly outperforming existing solutions. Customers can scan up to 2,560 acres (10.3 square kilometers) in a single 42-minute BVLOS mission.
