PowerUp 4.0 Smartphone Paper Airplane Kit

PowerUp 4.0 Smartphone Paper Airplane Kit

If you thought you'd seen everything the aviation world has to offer, the PowerUp 4.0 is worth a serious look. Our Smartphone-obsessed society has actually managed to bring a smartphone app to the classic paper airplane. The Apple and Android app enables users to sync their smart devices with the Bluetooth-capable receiver and pilot the origami aircraft of their choice from the comfort of their trusty phone.

How does it work? Simply attach the PowerUp 4.0 to a paper airplane, sync your device to its receiver, and give the aircraft a toss. The unit has a 230 ft. (70m) range and can remain aloft for up to 10 minutes on a single charge. Its carbon fiber frame and front bumper are crashproof, and the controls feature built-in automatic thrust to rudder assist. The app itself is loaded with intuitive, user-friendly features that display a wealth of flight parameters. A mind-boggling mix of 21st-century technology with old-school entertainment that's guaranteed to thrill gadget-happy pilots young and old.

Exciting news - the POWERUP 4.0 was named a 2024 National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA) winner!

NAPPA is one of the longest-running awards programs in the United States and has become a trusted source for families looking for the best toys, baby, and family products on the market. To determine if the products submitted for the NAPPA program deserve the coveted award seal, families, and their children act as toy testers by playing with the submitted products and providing feedback. After they played with the POWERUP 4.0, the families shared their experiences calling it a "fun toy," and "a true STEAM project with the combo of art and tech." Another toy tester shared, "if you have a kid who enjoys crafts and tech this would be a cool toy!" With this award win, POWERUP will be featured in NAPPA and LA Parent's Jingle Holiday Gift Guide publishing in November! Learn more about the NAPPA Awards.
