The PowerUp Dart is a motorized paper plane kit that takes the widely enjoyed childhood game of throwing paper planes into the space age, with the inclusion of such high-tech add-ons such as Bluetooth remote-control, an onboard camera and a propeller.
But what makes the PowerUp Dart paper plane truly exceptional is the fact that it's not simply designed to soar, but to perform stunning aerobatic stunts. This is possible thanks to a carbon shaft structure that allows the plane to perform G-force stunts such as climbing vertically and descending from steep inclines.
Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, this paper plane will surely appeal to remote-control plane and drone enthusiasts, as well as anyone who ever flew a paper plane in their childhood and wants to experience the same thrill in a more high-tech manner.
