Professional Aerial Inspections for Safer Faster Maintenance
Wind Turbine Drone Inspections
Wingman Drones offers ultra-high-resolution drone inspections of wind turbines across the UK. Our services reduce downtime, improve defect detection and keep technicians safely on the ground.
Blade and Tower Condition Surveys
We capture high-definition images and video of turbine blades, towers, and nacelles to identify common issues such as:
- Leading edge erosion
- Lightning strike damage
- Cracks, splits or delamination
- Corrosion and rust on towers
Our inspections can even be performed without the need to stop turbine operation (depending on area of inspection), keeping energy output uninterrupted.
High-Zoom Camera Inspections
Using advanced optical zoom cameras, we’re able to perform detailed inspections from a safe distance. This minimises the risk of blade strikes and enables full surface analysis — even in wind environments with wind speeds up to 33.5 mph.
Optional Thermal Imaging
Thermal inspections help identify:
- Overheating electrical components
- Insulation failure
- Gearbox or bearing anomalies
Thermal cameras add an extra layer of insight for preventative maintenance and root-cause analysis.
HD Photo & Video Capture
Every inspection includes a set of crystal-clear, geo-tagged images and 4K video footage that can be reviewed, shared or archived for future reference.
