Description

Take control of the most advanced and user-friendly propeller on the market. Enjoy up to 10 minutes of flight time. Control your flight through your smartphone. Fly any time. Real time telemetry. With its sophisticated onboard computer and auto-stabilizers, the 4.0 can fly in imperfect weather. Go beyond paper. Works well with a wide variety of planes. Even if your folds aren't perfect. Great for beginners and flight hobbyists who can't wait to fly.

Turn any paper plane into a powered, remote-controlled flying machine. Use the in-app controls to loop, barrel roll and hammerhead with ease. Or hit auto-loop and enjoy your own private airshow. POWERUP almost anything. Create and test new designs from paper, light balsa wood, or foam. Fly even when the weather isn't perfect. Pit your skills (and our onboard computer) against unpredictable elements. Durable carbon-fiber construction means you can enjoy peace of mind while flying. Nylon reinforced nose and motor mount designed to withstand unexpected impacts without breaking. Doesn't require a license to operate or registration with the FAA.

The PowerUp 4.0 is a motorized paper airplane with a crash-proof carbon fiber body, controlled by your smart phone.

This paper airplane conversion kit will teach students the basic principles of physics, the concepts of flight, and the fundamentals of electronics. When the electric engine spins the propeller, energy is released.

Students can use PowerUp 4.0 to investigate many problems regarding forces and interactions as well as fascinating trials to study flight, gravity, force and motion. With the PowerUp 4.0, students will observe Newton's Laws of Motion in action. It is designed for older learners in Middle and High School. The observable and measurable results of trials will allow students to collect and analyze data for a better understanding of forces.

The many different airplane designs give students opportunities to prioritize criteria for safety and reliability of the craft. By changing the design, students can test a variety of real world changes. Advanced students can develop computer simulations to evaluate criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problems. The remote Bluetooth control adds opportunity for reliability of flight, as the students develop confidence in their engineering and mastery of the control panel.
