Wingtra Gen 2 Price

? How much does the Wingtra Gen 2 cost and what drives the final price for our projects?

Wingtra Gen 2 Price

We look at the Wingtra Gen 2 price from several angles. We explain what affects the price, show estimated ranges for common configurations, and break down ongoing costs. We keep language simple and clear so you can compare options fast.

What we mean by Wingtra Gen 2

We use “Wingtra Gen 2” to refer to the current fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) survey drone line often called Wingtra RAY. We mention the core package items and key capabilities here so the price context is clear.

We list core features that matter for price and operations. The drone offers long flight time, a 61 MP full-frame camera option, PPK, fast area coverage, and multiple swappable sensors.

Key specifications that affect price

We state the key specs here so readers see why prices vary. These specs also guide configuration choices.

• Flight time: up to 59 minutes. Longer flight time allows fewer batteries and fewer takeoffs per job.
• Camera: 61 MP full-frame option for high-detail mapping. Higher-resolution sensors cost more.
• Sensors: RGB, multispectral, and LIDAR options. LIDAR drives the largest price increases.
• Swapping: Sensors and batteries swap without tools. This lowers downtime but adds cost for extra modules.
• Safety: Parachute add-on and obstacle avoidance increase compliance and cost.
• PPK: PPK module improves georeferencing accuracy. This may be included or optional depending on bundle.

What is usually included in the box

We describe the standard bundle items so you know what to expect in the listed price. The included items reduce immediate accessory purchases.

We list common inclusions from vendor bundles:

• Wingtra RAY mapping drone airframe.
• Tablet TabActive 3 for control and planning.
• Telemetry module (2.4 GHz).
• Two flight batteries.

Primary price drivers

We break down the main items that change final purchase amounts. We keep each point short and clear.

• Sensor choice. LIDAR systems add the most cost. Multispectral and high-resolution RGB raise price moderately.
• Bundle level. A complete survey bundle with tablet, PPK, and extras costs more than an aircraft-only purchase.
• Warranty and service plans. Extended warranty and service contracts raise up-front or annual cost.
• Accessories and spares. Extra batteries, chargers, and cases add to the total.
• Shipping, import duties, and local taxes. These vary by country and add to the end price.
• Training and certification. Onsite training and BVLOS approvals raise the purchase package cost.
• Add-ons like parachute and ADS-B or cellular telemetry features. These options add fixed costs.

Estimated price ranges by configuration

We provide clear price ranges for typical configurations. We state these as estimates. We recommend checking with Wingtra or an authorized reseller for exact quotes.

We choose ranges to reflect common market offers and regional price variance. We include a plus sign for larger enterprise bundles because options vary widely.

Notes on the estimates

We note that prices depend on sensor brand and specification. We also note that LIDAR units differ greatly by channel count and range, so the top end can increase a lot. We advise getting a tailored quote.

Common add-on prices

We break down common add-ons and their typical cost ranges. These items often appear on an order and change the final invoice.

• Parachute add-on: $3,000 – $7,000.
• Extra flight battery: $500 – $1,200 each.
• Extra charger or dock: $1,000 – $3,000.
• Additional PPK base station or upgrades: $1,500 – $6,000.
• Spare propellers, landing gear items: $100 – $500.
• Hardcase upgrade or extra cases: $300 – $1,200.
• Payload swap service or calibration (if needed): $200 – $1,000 per swap or service session.
• Onsite training (1–2 days): $1,000 – $5,000 depending on scope and location.
• Extended warranty (second year and beyond): $3,000 – $10,000 depending on plan.

We add that some bundles already include several of these add-ons. We always recommend verifying the included items in the vendor quote.

Warranty and service plans

We explain warranty details and extended service options. We keep this section simple.

The product typically includes a 12-month limited warranty. We can buy extended warranty or service plans to cover the second year and beyond. The extended service often includes software updates and additional support tiers. Prices for extended coverage vary by country and by plan length.

We suggest considering extended service if we plan to fly often or in business-critical roles. Extended coverage reduces unexpected repair costs and short-term downtime.

Software and processing costs

We list software items and recurring costs. We keep the language direct.

• Flight planning and control apps: usually included with the drone.
• Processing software or cloud subscriptions: may be included for a trial period. Ongoing licenses can cost $1,000 – $6,000 per year.
• PPK post-processing tools: some vendors include a PPK workflow. Dedicated processing software may add cost.
• Third-party photogrammetry or LIDAR software: prices vary by feature and seat. Expect $1,000 – $5,000+ per year for advanced tools.

We recommend confirming included software licenses and trial lengths before purchase. This prevents surprise subscription charges.

Shipping, taxes, and import duties

We remind readers these items affect the final invoice. We state common outcomes.

We add shipping and handling fees to the purchase price. We note local taxes, VAT, and import duties vary by country. We advise budgeting an extra 5–25% of the invoice to cover these charges. We suggest asking the reseller for an all-in price that includes those costs.

Financing and leasing options

We outline common finance approaches for teams that prefer monthly payments. The goal is clarity for acquisition planning.

• Lease or finance through an equipment lender. Terms often run 24–60 months. Interest rates vary by lender and region.
• Vendor financing or reseller lease programs. Some resellers offer structured payments or rent-to-own options.
• Operating lease for short-term use. This lowers monthly cost but does not build equity in the asset.

We recommend comparing total interest and fee costs before choosing a financing path. We also advise checking if software subscriptions require separate payment if hardware is financed.

Example total cost of ownership (3-year) — sample scenario

We present a clear sample scenario to show how we estimate the 3-year cost of ownership. We keep numbers simple and labelled as estimates.

Scenario assumptions:

• Base mapping bundle purchase price: $100,000.
• Extra batteries and spares: $8,000 one-time.
• Extended warranty and service: $6,000 for years 2–3.
• Annual software subscriptions and cloud processing: $3,500 per year.
• Maintenance, minor repairs, and consumables: $2,000 per year.
• Training and certification: $2,500 one-time.

We include this example so we can show real cost implications beyond the purchase price. We note that real numbers will vary by usage, region, and configuration.

Return on investment (ROI) considerations

We explain how to estimate ROI using drone survey productivity. We keep math simple.

We state the drone can survey up to 100 ha (250 ac) in roughly 10 minutes in optimal conditions. This capability improves productivity compared with multicopters and ground methods. We recommend estimating how many jobs we can complete per month and the average revenue per job to calculate ROI.

Example fast ROI calculation:

• If we can charge $1,500 for a 100 ha survey and complete 4 such surveys per month, monthly revenue equals $6,000.
• Annual revenue at that rate equals $72,000.
• Using the sample total 3-year ownership cost of $133,000, we could recover the base cost in under two years at that workload level.

We caution that this is a simplified example. Actual ROI depends on flight windows, travel time, site prep, post-processing time, and local pricing.

Which configurations suit different users

We give guidance on configuration choices by use case. We keep each recommendation short.

• Mapping firms focused on high-resolution photogrammetry: 61 MP RGB bundle.
• Agricultural survey teams needing vegetation indices: multispectral bundle.
• Survey and civil engineering teams needing 3D point clouds and penetration: LIDAR bundle.
• Contractors working over roads and urban areas where safety compliance matters: add parachute and extended telemetry.
• Small firms with tight budgets and occasional mapping: consider aircraft-only purchase and later add payloads.

We recommend matching sensor choice to our core job types to maximize return on the investment.

Buying tips and negotiation points

We list practical tips for negotiating price and ensuring value. Each tip is short and direct.

• Ask for full line-item pricing. We want to see what is included and what is optional.
• Request bundled upgrades or training as part of the purchase. Vendors often include extras to close a deal.
• Compare quotes from authorized dealers and direct sales where available.
• Check for demo or trial units to test workflow. This reduces risk before a full purchase.
• Verify software licence terms and renewal costs. Confirm which processing tools are included.
• Confirm lead times for sensor delivery. Custom sensor orders can add wait time.
• Ask about trade-in programs if we plan to replace older drone hardware.

We suggest preparing a short list of must-have features so we avoid overpaying for extras we will not use.

How to get an exact quote

We guide the reader to obtain an accurate and current price. We list steps to follow.

• Contact Wingtra sales or an authorized reseller. We ask for an itemized quote.
• Provide mission profiles and expected use cases. Vendors can match configurations to needs.
• Request shipping, tax, and import duty estimates for our country.
• Ask for included software licences, trial lengths, and subscription rates.
• Request lead time and installation/training options.

We recommend documenting the final agreed scope in writing before payment.

Regulatory and training costs that affect implementation

We state common regulatory and training costs. These items add to the operational budget and can affect acquisition timing.

• Flight permissions and BVLOS waivers: costs depend on country and type of operation. Some approvals require administrative fees or contracted consulting.
• Training for pilots and maintainers: vendor or reseller training fees vary by scope. Some firms include a short training session in the package.
• Insurance and liability coverage: commercial drone insurance premiums depend on region, flight type, and value insured.

We recommend budgeting for these items and including them in the total acquisition plan.

Resale value and upgrade path

We touch on how resale and upgrades influence net cost. We keep it direct.

We can resell the drone or upgrade sensors as our needs change. Fixed-wing survey drones retain value if we maintain them well. Adding extra payloads can extend the platform lifespan and increase resale value. We advise keeping maintenance logs and original accessories to protect resale price.

Practical buying checklist

We provide a short checklist we can use when buying. Each point is a simple action.

• Confirm sensor and bundle items included.
• Check PPK inclusion and accuracy specs.
• Verify battery count and charger type.
• Confirm safety add-ons like parachute and obstacle avoidance.
• Ask about warranty and service plan details.
• Get all taxes, shipping, and import costs in writing.
• Check software license terms and ongoing fees.
• Arrange training and ask about demo flights.
• Check delivery lead times and return policy.

Comparison with other platform types

We show simple comparisons so readers see where Wingtra Gen 2 fits. We focus on time and coverage.

• Wingtra Gen 2 vs multicopter: Wingtra covers more ground faster. Multicopters offer better low-altitude flexibility and VTOL hover for inspections.
• Wingtra Gen 2 vs terrestrial surveying: Wingtra can be 20–30x faster for area coverage. Terrestrial methods give very precise ground control for small areas.

We recommend choosing the platform that matches most of our project needs.
