PowerUp Dart, the paper plane you can control with your mobile phone

[OyaYansa]

Did you like making paper airplanes at school? Well now you have the opportunity to turn your simple cellulose aircraft into a Mr. Dron capable of performing complex tricks, such as loops, turns and other acrobatics, to leave everyone with their mouths open. And all thanks to PowerUp Dart, a system that allows you to control a paper plane with the mobile.

This platform is an evolution of PowerUp 3.0, a project that we talked about a couple of years ago and was a success in KickStarter. The original system allowed to handle a paper airplane through an app for the smartphone or the tablet, but this first version only allowed to keep the aircraft in the air and make small movements, without possibility of performing the maneuvers offered by the new version.

PowerUp Dart consists of a piece that is placed on the nose of the plane, which is equipped with a motor and an intelligent controller that integrates Bluetooth technology; a second cross-shaped component placed along the plane and hooked to the rear, where the rudder and the propeller are located; a pair of wheels and the rear skate to take off and land. In addition, the kit also includes paper templates to make the aircraft with ease.

Once the aircraft is ready, to control your plane you only need to install the app on your iOS or Android mobile phone. It works by means of control of gestures and it has a gamepad mode so that it is easy to make you with the controls of the device. In addition, it has video transmission in real time so you can control it better.

The paper airplane can fly at a maximum speed of 40 km / h for 10 minutes in a range of 60 meters. Once exhausted, the battery is recharged in 25 minutes via a microUSB cable.

If you want to buy the paper airplane that is controlled with the mobile you can get him on the Kickstarter page at a price from 25 dollars. The delivery will take place starting next December.
