X-Fly is a remote-controlled biomimetic flying creature, mirroring the intricate flight patterns of
birds and insects. Controlled through a blend of smartphone-based Bluetooth commands and
an optional, attachable “X-Play” joystick, X-Fly gives users a unique aerial experience,
redefining recreational flying.
Paris - (Nov. 29th, 2023) Experience the
sensation of flight in a way that feels like an
extension of nature itself with X-Fly. The Bionic
Bird team soars to new heights of innovation with
X-Fly, launching today. Building on the success of
Bionic Bird and MetaFly, X-Fly merges the
brilliance of nature's flying creatures with human
technological prowess.
Most drones currently available offer a
mechanical flight that’s difficult for beginners, has
limited battery life, lacks static hardware and doesn’t offer tactile feedback to allow users to
enjoy the physical controls when using a smartphone as a remote controller.
X-Fly offers organic bird or insect-like flight dynamics, delivering an authentic and immersive
flying experience. Its unique flapping wing technology allows X-Fly to blend seamlessly with its
surroundings and can be flown indoors and outdoors. The design also supports aerial
acrobatics and smooth gliding. X-Fly’s sophisticated sensors and "flight assistance" modes
ensure users of all skill levels can easily operate it, without extensive training. Users can enjoy
an uninterrupted flight experience and don’t need to wait for recharging, thanks to a sleek
design that allows the battery to be replaced easily. X-Fly accepts hardware plugins and
software updates, ensuring that it remains relevant and adaptable to future technological
advancements.
“X-Fly isn't just a device, it's an experience! Serving dual roles as an entertaining gadget and an
insightful educational tool, X-Fly seamlessly blends leisure with learning,” said Edwin Van
Ruymbeke, the founder of Bionic Bird. “The organic flight dynamics, inspired by nature, offer
people the opportunity to delve deeper into the marvels of science and technology, making X-
Fly the clear choice for anyone eager to understand the intricate dance between biology and
engineering.”
X-Fly takes the user experience to the next level by blending smartphone-based Bluetooth
commands with an optional, attachable patent-pending "X-Play" joystick. It’s the perfect add-on
for those who wish to operate X-Fly with a physical joystick rather than the touchscreen. X-Play
easily clamps onto a user’s smartphone and can be secured using the rubber band provided.
The app can automatically detect the X-Play position on the screen and calibrate itself to adapt
to it. No precise adjustment is required.
X-Fly’s optional LED illumination plug-in casts a halo-like glow around the X-Fly. Users can
enhance their flight experience by selecting their color of choice.The chosen hue not only
transforms the X-Fly's visual appeal but also projects a dynamic shadow onto surfaces below,
infusing the flight with an ethereal and dramatic touch.
Controlling this biomimetic wonder is intuitive and effortless. With state-of-the-art flight assist
modes, the ability to change batteries on-the-go, and future-ready tech integrations, every flight
is a story waiting to be told. X-Fly brings the beauty of nature's flight right to the user's fingertips.

About Bionic Bird
Founded in 2010, Bionic Bird was born out of a passion to create, deeply rooted in a family
history. Edwin Van Ruymbeke, an aeronautical engineer, dreamt of being able to create an
electrical bird that could be the successor of the well-known TIM, the mechanical bird, invented
by both his father and grandfather back in the sixties. His advanced scientific knowledge of the
flapping flights, gathered along the years, combined with a perfect proficiency in new
technologies, made the MetaBird and MetaFly possible, and won the Concours Lepine gold
medal. Now, the team is excited to introduce their newest addition to their biomimetic drone
collection, X-Fly. For more information, visit https://www.bionicbird.com/.
