Learning from Innovative Products

One of the most innovative products that I have seen in the recent past is The Power Up 3.0 which is an cell phone controlled paper plane. Yes in simple words you can convert your paper plane into a lean, mean app-controlled flying machine.

Once you have fitted the structure to the paper plane you can use SMART Bluetooth technology to fly it for over ten minutes. The app itself has different controls that allow you to control the object throughout the time duration. The controls are very simple to manage. The user can tilt their smartphone or tablet from right to left and the throttle lever on the app helps to ascend and descend the plane. You can watch the video for this innovative product here.

Another benefit of the Power Up is that it has a cash-proof carbon fiber body so it can be used without any worries. If you want to involve your other family members then two or more Power Up’s can result into a family and friends game and dogfight among yourselves.

The device itself is very unique, making a paper plane is not a difficult task but coming up with a design that helps it to fly for a longer time is impressive. It took the innovator more than 50 design prototypes to finally come with a stable model that can last in the air for a while. There have been more advancements in the device itself with newer versions also available.

Interesting thing about the Power Up is that it comes not only with a Bluetooth module and android application but also has four different paper templates available in the kit that help you to try out different designs. Some of the other components include crossbar, micro USB charging cable, desk stand and spare propellers and rudder.

The product is inspiring because you can never imagine flying a paper plane in the air in the times when drones have taken over, this motivates me to think that if you put all the hard work into something then everything is possible.
