Orqa Launches H7 WingCore: The High-Performance, Fully NDAA-Compliant Flight Controller for Fixed-Wing and VTOL Platforms
Orqa announced the launch of the H7 WingCore, a cutting-edge flight controller engineered to manage fixed-wing and VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) platforms. Specifically built to be “dual-use”, the H7 WingCore delivers uncompromised performance for both defense and enterprise operators.
Compliant by Design
In an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny, the H7 WingCore stands out as a fully NDAA-compliant solution. This certification means the H7 WingCore will appeal to US government agencies, security forces, and commercial entities who demand the highest standards of component provenance and data security.
The H7 WingCore is part of Orqa’s forthcoming fully NDAA-compliant fixed-wing ecosystem, where every element works seamlessly with every other right out of the box.
At the heart of the system is the powerful STM32H743 MCU, which provides the processing overhead required to run all major flight controller firmwares, including iNav, ArduPilot, and PX4. Whether managing traditional fixed-wing aircraft or complex VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) platforms, the H7 WingCore ensures rock-solid stability through its dual, orthogonal ICM-42688 IMU configuration.
Key technical specifications:
- High-Voltage Support: Compatible with 3s to 12s LiIon batteries (11.1V – 44.4VDC).
- Advanced Sensing: Features the DPS310 barometer and an onboard 160A current sensor.
- Orqa Custom OSD: A fully NDAA-compliant On-Screen Display supporting both text and graphics.
- Robust BEC System: High-output power (5V/8A and 6/7.2V/10A) to reliably drive servos and peripherals.
- Connectivity: Support for SIK Radio telemetry, USB-C, CAN bus, and twin switchable analog camera inputs.
Srdjan Kovacevic, Co-Founder and CEO of Orqa, said, “The H7 WingCore is more than just a flight controller; it is a direct response to the market’s need for a robust, reliable, and regulatory-compliant brain for complex unmanned systems.”
