Below you will find a summary of the most frequently asked questions we get related to accuracy. To get the

Flight time, coverage and job time


WingtraOne’s maximum tested flight time is 59 minutes. However, the flight time
of any drone is influenced by many factors, so it will not be uniform throughout
different missions. In any case, coverage and job time are determined by more
factors than just flight time, namely flight speed and payload.
