What these figures mean in practice
Our reading of the specifications above. These are not manufacturer claims — every number below is derived from the table, and the trade-offs are ours.
Fifty-nine minutes is a different category of survey
Against the Mavic 3M's 43 minutes and 32 km, the WingtraOne's 59 minutes of fixed-wing cruise at 16 m/s covers 460 ha in a single flight. The Mavic is a multirotor carrying its lift on the motors the whole time; this is a tailsitter that takes off vertically and then flies on a wing. For whole-farm mapping the difference is measured in flights per day, not minutes per flight.
It handles wind the Agras machines cannot
12 m/s sustained and gusts to 18 m/s, against 6 m/s for every DJI Agras model on this site. Note the asymmetry in Wingtra's own figures though: 8 m/s sustained on the ground, lower than the airborne limit, because the vulnerable moments for a tailsitter are the vertical transitions at each end of the flight.
Three centimetres, but only with PPK
The 3 cm RMS absolute accuracy figure is quoted with post-processed kinematics. That means correction happens after the flight against base station or network data, not live — so the workflow includes a processing step the Mavic 3M's live fixed RTK does not, in exchange for not needing a correction link in the air over a 460 ha block.
An 800 g payload is the whole design constraint
At 4.8 kg maximum takeoff weight, the 800 g payload allowance is what decides which sensor can fly — MAP61, RGB61 or the LIDAR unit — and they are not interchangeable mid-flight. Unlike a spray drone, where payload is consumable and the aircraft gets lighter as it works, this one carries the same mass from takeoff to landing.
