New Delhi: With an idea to make the flight of an airplane straight, researchers have developed a new technology that turns your self-made paper airplane into a smartphone-controlled flying machine capable of twisting and turning through open skies.

Right now it is a Kickstarter project which promises to take paper planes to whole new heights, both figuratively and literally.
 
The device, called Power Up 3.0, is designed to give the classic paper plane an upgrade by attaching a propeller and a rudder to allow more air time, speed, and control.

Designed by Shai Goitein, the paper plane can be controlled via your smartphone through an accompanying app, which will pair with the Power Up 3.0 via Bluetooth connectivity. By attaching Power Up 3.0 to your paper plane, it should allow it to fly a good 60 yards, as well as control it by turning left or right.

To begin, a user has to simply fold a piece of copier paper into a paper airplane. Then, they have to attach the smart module to their paper plane with the patented clips underneath the Smart Module.

Starting the app connects the Smart Module with their cell phone.

Users can then push throttle to full and launch the paper airplane high up into the sky, according to the product's description on Kickstarter website.
