Lyndhurst, Ohio, October 22, 2024POWERUP, the creator of the first smartphone-controlled paper airplane motor kit, added innovative and collaborative features to its POWERUP 4.0 App. This update introduces a robust cloud database that stores all flight parameters, allowing users to save and track their flight data seamlessly.

“We’re always looking for new ways to innovate at POWERUP,” said Shai Goitein, CEO and Founder of POWERUP. “With this addition, we hope to encourage pilots to fly more, be creative, and share their fun experiences with other pilots around the world!”

These new features are designed to enhance the functionality of the POWERUP App, as well as to create a more interactive and communal experience. This includes providing educators access to flight performance data for classroom analysis. Additional functionalities will also be available to users soon, including:

  • Custom Airplanes: Users will soon be able to create and add their own airplane designs to the app and share these innovations with the community.
  • Airplane Ratings and Reviews: An upcoming feature where users can rate and review different airplane designs, enhancing community interaction and feedback.
