Case Study: Zurich creates a detailed city digital twin with Wingtra drones

Zurich maps 800 ha city center in 6 flight hours with Wingtra

The customer Zurich sought to create a highly detailed city digital twin, a challenge that required efficiently capturing vast urban areas with a drone. Vendor Wingra utilized its WingtraOne GEN II survey drone equipped with an oblique payload to address this need.

Wingtra's solution involved mapping 800 hectares of the city center in just six flight hours, a task made efficient by the drone's ability to take off and land in small spaces. The data was processed with Bentley ContextCapture into an impressively detailed 3D model. This outcome provides city officials and planners with essential data to design urban environments, plan infrastructure, and simulate environmental changes.
