AlterGeo Holding is the world's only company to have integrated a gyro-stabilized large-format photogrammetric camera system onto ultralight aircraft.
We stand out
from the competition.
Ultralight and powerfull
The 600kg Light Sport Aircraft is a groundbreaking innovation in lightweight composite aircraft production, earning the title of "Polish Product of the Future" in 2004. This remarkable aircraft has won the Aerospace Expo SUN 'n FUN in Florida, USA, three times - in 2018, 2019, and 2021. Additionally, it claimed the top spot at the prestigious "Best of the Best" competition at the South African Air Fair, outperforming around 100 competing aircraft models from around the world.
Remotely controlled around the Globe via satellite connection.
The remote access to onboard computers enables a seamless data acquisition process from a ground station located in the office. This setup provides the pilot with robust support from the ground, allowing them to concentrate on precise flight and safety in compliance with international aviation regulations.
Outstanding carrying capacity
With an impressive payload capacity of over 60 kg, our system supports large-format sensors such as the PhaseOne 280 MP stabilized camera and long-range LiDAR scanners for simultaneous data acquisition. This capability vastly outperforms drones, enhancing acquisition efficiency by a factor of one hundred.

Performance
Up to 100 better performance than drones
Extremely low cost of exploitation of ultralight aircraft and long-range allows reaching remote destinations without terrestrial roads. Fast data acquisition shortens the time spending on a mission.
Much cheaper than a helicopter and large plane
- Low and slow flight gives similar results, especially in corridor mapping.
- Short take-off and landing run (approx. 100 m) enlarge operational flexibility.
- Low and slow flight gives extremely high resolution and high precision of observation unreachable from big airplane.
- Costs of aircraft maintenance, service and exploitation are incomparable.
The Alter-Eye is a full composite custom carbon fibre designed high wing monoplane with remarkable individual features and performance. Want to know more? Contact us.
Integrations examples
The advantage of Alter-Eye compared to drones is high operability, resulting from the high take-off weight allowed by the regulations, which allowing the placeing off efficient devices and large fuel reserves on board - increasing the range and duration of air missions, even up to several hours.
Phase One PAS 280 with Somag Stabilizer
The Phase One PAS 280 MP large format camera on the Alter-Eye captures data at an impressive 1 cm GSD resolution. With a resolution range between 1 and 10 cm GSD, it provides the optimal precision required for accurate measurements across various industries.
CIR composition
CIR composition
Riegl VQ780i ALS
The Long Range LIDAR scanner mounted on the Alter-Eye delivers dense measurements ranging from 200 to 2 points per square meter, depending on the flight altitude. Its field of view is synchronized with a photogrammetric RGB and NIR camera, enabling the simultaneous collection of both types of data during a single flight. This integration ensures perfectly correlated data for comprehensive future analysis.
Dense point cloud
Digital Terrain Model
NEO Hyspex VNIR + SWIR
These unique cameras provide exceptional spectral resolution, capturing data across 540 bands for each pixel. With a spectral range from 400 to 2500 nm, they reveal details invisible to the human eye, such as mineral compositions, hidden pollutants, and early signs of plant disease. Ideal for scientific research and machine learning analytical techniques, these cameras uncover hidden truths and offer unparalleled insights.
