Windracers is an autonomous aviation company that engineers, manufactures and operates ULTRA, a dual-use, heavy-lift uncrewed aircraft for missions in demanding and hard-to-reach locations. Designed to go further and carry substantial cargo, ULTRA combines a fixed-wing aircraft, proprietary autopilot and mission-planning software, and operational support services. Its distributed autopilot architecture is designed to avoid a single point of failure, while Windracers can support mission planning and delivery or work alongside customer teams.

ULTRA serves defence, air cargo, humanitarian and research organisations. Its capabilities include point-to-point delivery using a large cargo bay, precision parachute drops, and long-endurance aerial survey, reconnaissance and data collection. The aircraft is built for short take-offs and landings on challenging surfaces, including ice and snow, and can help maintain access when infrastructure is limited or unavailable. Windracers says ULTRA has operated in Ukraine for more than three years and has demonstrated use across civil and defence missions. The company’s services aim to make these operations safe, reliable and cost-effective.
