The long-range LiDAR-surveying configuration of Wingcopter's flagship 198 - the same patented tilt-rotor eVTOL used for delivery, re-purposed (from Feb 2025) with a high-end laser scanner and camera system to map linear infrastructure at scale. The tilt-rotor airframe (198 x 152 x 65 cm, 25 kg max takeoff weight, eight rotors of which four tilt, plus winglets) hovers to launch then cruises efficiently at 90 km/h, carrying a ~4.5 kg sensor payload up to 60 km of infrastructure in a single BVLOS mission. Its LiDAR offers a 100-degree field of view and up to a 2.4 MHz pulse rate, firing the beam in three directions (nadir, +10 and -10 degrees) for complete capture of vertical surfaces, canyons and power lines, yielding up to 570 points/m2 at 10 mm accuracy / 5 mm precision - covering 10.3 km2 (~2,500 acres) in about 42 minutes. Redundant flight controls (dual airspeed/heading/GNSS, eight motors and ESCs, two hot-swap smart batteries) and a 5,000 m ceiling suit it to inspecting power lines, pipelines, railways and roads and mapping hard-to-reach terrain.
