UAV Wingman.
Weather, DGCA airspace & flight safety for Indian drone pilots.
Stop paying $30 to $50 every year for foreign apps that do not know Indian DGCA Green Zones, 42°C summer battery limits, or Guntha survey units. UAV Wingman brings the iconic clarity of UAV Forecast to Indian skies, engineered in Mumbai specifically for how we actually fly in India.
Stop paying foreign prices
for apps that ignore India.
Indian drone pilots have spent years juggling separate apps for weather, Indian airspace, and flight tracking, while paying expensive foreign subscriptions in USD that still lack DGCA Green Zones, 42°C summer heat safety, or Guntha survey units. Here is how UAV Wingman compares against the leading apps in the market.

Frequently asked questions
about UAV Wingman.
What is UAV Wingman?
UAV Wingman is an aeronautical weather, airspace, and flight safety mobile app engineered by Voltair Tech for Indian drone pilots, fixed-wing operators, and survey teams. It replaces expensive foreign apps with an affordable, India-first tool.
Why is UAV Wingman priced at ₹499/year or ₹2,499 for a Lifetime plan?
International apps like UAV Forecast and Aloft price for US and European corporate budgets in USD ($30 to $50/yr), yet offer zero Indian airspace or local weather features. Voltair Tech is making professional flight tools accessible to every Indian pilot, student, and drone company at ₹499/year or ₹2,499 for permanent Lifetime access.
How does the 1-Year Free Pro feature reward work?
If you submit a feature suggestion or workflow through our feedback form or LinkedIn post and our engineering team integrates it into the UAV Wingman app, you will be awarded a complimentary 1-Year UAV Wingman Pro subscription.
What features are included in the Free tier?
The free tier includes full GO / CAUTION / NO-GO flight verdicts, 2-day hourly aeronautical weather (today and tomorrow), DGCA airspace zone checks, the KML survey drawer, offline emergency SOP cards, and the pilot compliance wallet.
Does UAV Wingman replace DigitalSky for legal flight permissions?
No. DigitalSky remains the statutory legal portal for Government of India airspace permissions. UAV Wingman provides fast, convenient operational awareness in the field, helping you verify your zone, understand permitted heights, contact local ATC units, and generate pre-filled permission letters.
Will UAV Wingman work without an internet connection in remote areas?
Yes. UAV Wingman caches your last forecast for offline access. The compliance wallet, emergency SOP cards, land unit calculators, magnetic declination model, and walk-the-boundary GPS tool work completely offline without cellular data.
How can I test the Alpha version or request a specific feature?
UAV Wingman is currently in active development. You can submit your feature requests and join the private Alpha TestFlight (iOS) and Android APK testing circle using the feedback form on this page.
