The team responsible for the POWERUP smartphone-controlled paper airplane has once again taken to Kickstarter to launch their new fourth-generation smartphone-controlled paper plane. The POWERUP 4.0 has already blasted past its required pledge goal thanks to over 1,200 backers with still 56 days remaining.
Earlybird pledges are available from $49 for the barebone kit with worldwide shipping expected to take place during April 2020. Check out the demonstration video below to learn more about the new design and features which make the paper airplane even more stable, aerodynamic, and easier to fly.
Innovative Features of POWERUP 4.0
The POWERUP 4.0 is packed with innovative features that set it apart from its predecessors. The new on-board flight computer and two new sensors—gyro and accelerometer—work in tandem to provide a smoother flying experience. These sensors help in stabilizing the plane, making it easier to control even for beginners. The addition of two thrust vectoring motors allows for more precise maneuvers, enabling users to perform tricks and aerobatics with ease.
One of the standout features of the POWERUP 4.0 is its ability to auto-loop. This means that users can execute complex loops and other aerobatic maneuvers by simply pressing a button on their smartphone. This feature is particularly appealing for those who want to impress their friends with their flying skills without having to master complicated controls.
