Power Up 3.0, built by US-based designer Shai Goitein, promises to give the basic paper model an upgrade, using a small attachable propeller and rudder for a little more speed and steering control.
PowerUp 3.0's wireless communication is based on Bluetooth Smart technology.
Bluetooth connectivity allows the user to control the paper airplane via their smartphone with an accompanying app.
Tilting the phone to the left or right allows users to turn their airplane as it flies a whopping 60 yards. The app also includes a compass, controls for thrust and readouts for battery life and range, 'Mashable' reported.
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.
