Windracers ULTRA Heavy Lift Cargo Drone

The Windracers ULTRA is an unmanned cargo aircraft designed to move large payloads over long distances without the cost and risk of crewed transport. Built for military logistics and government users, ULTRA focuses on endurance, simplicity, and operational flexibility rather than speed or stealth.

Developed by UK based Windracers, the ULTRA originated as a commercial logistics platform before gaining strong interest from defense planners. Its main role is tactical and strategic resupply, moving fuel, equipment, and spare parts to remote or forward locations where traditional airlift is costly or unavailable.

The aircraft uses a fixed wing twin engine design optimized for efficiency. ULTRA can fly fully autonomous missions from takeoff to landing, guided by satellite navigation and secure data links. It does not require prepared runways, allowing operations from austere airstrips and expeditionary bases.

ULTRA has a payload capacity of roughly 150 kilograms and an operational range of up to 2,000 kilometers depending on load. Cruise speeds are modest, but the focus is on reliability and fuel efficiency. The drone is unarmed, reflecting its logistics only mission, but it can operate day or night and in poor weather.

For U.S. and allied forces, Windracers ULTRA offers a low cost option to reduce pressure on helicopters and crewed transport aircraft. It is well suited for Indo Pacific logistics, Arctic resupply, and distributed operations where persistence matters more than speed.
