  • The European Investment Bank provided €40 million in quasi-equity financing to Wingcopter.
  • The financing was intended to scale production of the Wingcopter 198 and support drone delivery logistics services.
  • The EIB framed the investment around electric delivery drones and logistics services for harder-to-reach locations.

Wingcopter develops and operates electric fixed-wing VTOL drones for logistics, medical delivery, middle-mile and last-mile supply, and long-range aerial survey missions. Its Wingcopter 198 platform uses a tilt-rotor architecture, redundant flight systems, and delivery-focused payload handling for BVLOS operations in rural, remote, and infrastructure-constrained areas.
