product details

This cool little UFO is the easiest-to-fly R/C flyer we’ve ever seen! It only goes up and down, so there’s no tricky coordination required. Its compact size – just 5” high – makes it perfect for classroom demos. Incorporate it into your lessons, or let your students independently discover the numerous principles involved in the technology.

EXPLORE:

• Newton’s Third Law: The rotors push air downward, and the air exerts an upward force on the rotors.

• Rotational Motion: Counter-rotation of parts shows conservation of angular momentum and provides vertical stability.

• Light and Waves: Infrared controller communicates commands. See the IR signals with a digital camera!

To operate, plug the flyer into the charging base. (8 AA batteries not included. We recommend using rechargeable batteries.) A 20-30 minute charge lets you fly for about 8 minutes. Maximum height of over 20 feet.
