Item Description

The world's 1st smartphone controlled bionic bird.

THE FLYING APP

Bionic Bird takes on the heavens with a range of 100 meters. Even apartment interiors don¿t scare it! A wave of the hand, the bird obeys. The Flying App, available on the App Store, is ultra sensitive and intuitive. 

 

BIONIC BIRD: TODAY

Bionic Bird gets its power from a Turbo-Charge® egg. In just 12 minutes, it has enough juice for 10 eight-minute flights in one session. The egg design slips into your pocket. In your hand, the bird is ultra light: just 9 grams. This masterpiece of micro technology contains numerous exclusive patents. 

BIOMIMETICS

In the sky, Bionic Bird is the only flying object in the world that does not frighten birds away. On the contrary, it attracts them all! Friends and enemies alike¿

By the end of 2015, Bionic Bird will adopt a third way to control the angle of the tail in flight, allowing for more stunts and super slow flight phases, using a non-motor technology that utilizes bio-metal alloy muscles with form memory. 

In Spring 2016, Bionic Bird will be capable of stable, stationary flight. Its dimensions will increase in order to obtain an adequate weight-power ratio, a higher payload and more natural inertia. It will have sensor plate control and on-board computer servo-control for automated stabilization.

Item Special Note

 

PIONEERS OF THE SKY

Bionic Bird is the fruit of more than 40 years of R&D. In the 1960s, the Van Ruymbeke family created the first successful mechanic bird. Edwin Van Ruymbeke, an aeronautic engineer, has dedicated his whole life to bionic birds. Today, he is ready to offer the bird of the future to the world.
