THE GAME-CHANGING ORNITHOPTER DRONE
X-FLY
The First Ornithopter Drone with Piloting Assistance
We are proud to present X-Fly, a phenomenal achievement in the field of biomimetic flying machines.
This aircraft is designed to bridge the gap between advanced drone technology and the art of natural flight.
It represents the culmination of decades of research into bio-inspired flight systems. Drawing on the natural capabilities of birds, insects and other flying creatures, these systems aim to replicate the efficiency, adaptability and resilience of natural flight.
X-Fly is the first aircraft of its kind to successfully combine the complex mechanics of flapping-wing flight with cutting-edge sensors technology.

FEATURE-RICH APP & DUAL CONTROL
An Unmatched Flight Performance
The X-Fly is designed to offer an exceptional flying experience, whether indoors or outdoors. Thanks to its innovative propellerless flapping wing design, it guarantees optimum safety and impressive manoeuvrability. With its 20 Hz flapping frequency, it can perform acrobatic manoeuvres, glide gracefully, and take off and land from the ground.
Durable and resistant, the X-Fly is designed to withstand shocks thanks to its elastic legs and impact-absorbing neck. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced pilot, the X-Fly offers you an exceptional and safe flying experience.
- Unmatched flight quality: An all-new mechanical wing flapping module and combined titanium/carbon wing structures have increased the wingspan and reduced power consumption. The result is a remarkable improvement in autonomy, wind resistance and glide ratio.
- Versatile flying experience: Able to fly indoors and outdoors, the X-Fly supports aerobatics and smooth gliding, redefining the boundaries of recreational flying.
Master the sky: X-Fly’s revolutionary sensor system
At the core of X-Fly’s innovation is the development of advanced inertial sensors and gyroscopes, designed to be insensitive to the vibrations of wing flapping. This innovative approach has made it possible to integrate genuine flight assistance into this ornithopter, something that had never been possible before. This development not only enhances the user experience by providing a more stable and controllable flight, but also represents a crucial step towards the future of unmanned flight.
Flight assistance modes include straight flight, stall protection in turns and stabilisation in air currents. This makes piloting easier for everyone and ensures optimum control in all circumstances.
Continuous evolution
With upcoming add-ons
Open platform modular system for evolving
Thanks to the external connector on its board, you can easily customise your drone by adding various external plug-ins. Here are those available today:
- Optional LED Accessory: Transform the look of your X-Fly with a stunning LED module that diffuses a soft halo glow around its wings and now allows night flights! Select a colour that resonates with your style and watch it cast dynamic shadows all around, adding a dramatic and ethereal element to your flights.
- Optional Buzzer Accessory: Never worry about losing your X-Fly again! The buzzer module makes a powerful beeping sound, perfect for locating your drone in tall grass or dense bushes.
- And that’s just the beginning! We’re constantly developing new plug-ins to enhance your X-Fly experience!
Ejectable battery
The X-Fly’s design makes it easy to eject the battery for recharging on its dedicated ultra-fast charger (about 12 minutes).
But you can also replace it with an additional battery: with a charge time of just 12 minutes, and a flight time roughly equivalent, a second battery lets you fly for an unlimited time with a pause of just a few seconds!
Feature-rich application – four flight modes
TheFlyingApp, a dedicated application that you can download free, offers a range of functions not available with a conventional radio control system. You can access to video tutorials, manage a device list, update your X-Fly’s firmware via OTA* as it evolves, or find interactive help directly on each screen of the app. You can also customize your flight assistance settings, activate and manage your optional add-ons. And, of course, you’ll have access to 4 distinct flight modes, all fully configurable in terms of their interface, giving you total flexibility to adapt them to your preferences:
1 hand TILT mode
Control the throttle with your thumb and the direction by tilting your phone. This vertical mode offers a dynamic and immersive way to control the X-Fly using natural movements.
1 hand TOUCH mode
Control the X-Fly on-screen with just one hand, using your smartphone in vertical orientation. Easily manage throttle (up/down) and steering (left/right) with just your thumb, without looking at the screen, thanks to our intuitive detection system.
2 hands Touch mode
For two-handed control, switch to horizontal mode. Use one thumb to steer and the other to control the throttle, for more conventional operation.
Additionnal options with the optionnal X-PLAY joystick
Patented XPlay joystick – the ultimate X-Fly controller
For pilots seeking a more tactile and precise interaction, the XPlay is an essential accessory. This patented joystick transforms your smartphone into a traditional remote control, giving you complete mastery over your X-Fly drone.
RC feel and enhanced precision
With the XPlay joystick, you can experience true piloting sensations thanks to its haptic feedback, which recreates the feel of a traditional remote control. This controller provides precise, responsive control, ensuring your ornithopter drone responds exactly as you intend for an authentic flying experience. Its compatibility with all types of smartphones allows for easy adjustment and improved grip for smoother, more controlled flights.
Automatic calibration
The X-Fly’s “TheFlyingApp” automatically detects the joystick’s position on your smartphone screen and instantly adjusts the settings for an optimal piloting experience. With this automatic calibration, you no longer need to worry about technical adjustments. Enjoy a simplified setup and focus fully on what matters most: confidently and precisely piloting your ornithopter drone.
Quick setup
Setting up your XPlay joystick is effortless! Simply attach it to your smartphone and secure it with the provided elastic band.
