Wingcopter

Wingcopter is a drone technology company founded in 2017 in Weiterstadt, Germany, developing long-range unmanned aircraft for logistics operators who need to reach areas that ground transport cannot serve efficiently, such as rural clinics and dispersed retail points.

Its flagship Wingcopter 198 is a hybrid fixed-wing eVTOL drone capable of beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions carrying parcels, blood samples, or medical supplies; the system pairs proprietary flight control software with a tilt-rotor mechanism for vertical take-off and horizontal cruise, and is deployed with logistics and healthcare partners including ANA Holdings and Siemens Healthineers.

1. Long-range flight: The Wingcopter 198 covers up to 110 km round trip per mission.

2. Hybrid VTOL design: Combines vertical take-off with fixed-wing cruise for speed and efficiency.

3. BVLOS-ready avionics: Onboard systems support beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations under aviation approval.

4. Payload flexibility: Interchangeable containers carry parcels, blood samples, or medical supplies up to 5 kg.

5. Drone-in-a-box docking: Automated ports enable unattended charging and dispatch.

6. Fleet software: A mission planning platform manages multiple aircraft and delivery routes.
