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.
