Ages 8+
A simple sheet of paper becomes something extraordinary with the POWERUP 4.0. This thoughtfully engineered kit blends classic paper plane folding with modern technology, giving you a smooth, controlled flying experience straight from your smartphone.
Designed with precision and built using high quality materials, POWERUP is known for creating products that are both innovative and durable. The lightweight carbon fibre frame, reinforced components, and impact absorbing nose are all crafted to handle real play, not just careful use. It is a toy that invites experimentation, repeat flights, and plenty of trial and error without the worry of easy breakage.
Once connected via Bluetooth, your phone becomes the controller. The onboard flight computer uses a combination of gyroscope and accelerometer technology to stabilise your plane mid air, helping correct movement and maintain balance even when conditions are less than perfect. This makes it accessible for beginners while still offering enough control to keep older kids and adults engaged.
With responsive steering, impressive range, and fast charging, it is a hands on way to explore aerodynamics while having genuine fun. Whether you are testing different paper designs or simply enjoying the flight, every launch feels a little different.
