There is a unique excitement that comes with having the ability to fly something. It’s an experience every human craves and it explains why there are so many toy drones out there. If you’ve ever flown, you would understand the great feeling that comes with it, and of course, the craving for more. MetaFly promises to be the next level you’ve been craving. The device is specially designed to fly like winged animals do, giving it the ability to maneuver just like them. We can bet this is the best flying experience yet.
Design and Features
MetaFly flies using a unique method known as biomimetics. This denotes synthetic methods that mimic natural processes. The synthetic wings of MetaFly are designed to mimic the natural movement of birds or flying insects, allowing it to swirl around the house without hitting anything.
Just like birds, MetaFly can take turns, fly slow, or fast and maneuver around objects. It is also capable of gliding movements towards the left or right directions. This makes MetaFly one of the few RC flying objects that are capable of actually flying in small spaces.
A perfect blend of speed and maneuverability
MetaFly boasts a perfect blend of speed and maneuverability, the two most important features in any flying object. If you wish to harness any of these abilities to your advantage, a simple change in the direction of the tail would give you what you need. When the tail is down, MetaFly can fly faster. On the other hand, the flight is much more controllable when the tail is up. These modes could prove useful for outdoor and indoor flying respectively.
Two-channel remote control
The remote control is optimally designed for further range, zero interference, and maximum control. With this awesome technology, you can fly MetaFly superfast towards trees and other objects and then maneuver between them.
Crash-proof design
With MetaFly, you do not have to worry about crashing or potential damage upon impact at high speeds. MetaFly comes with elastic wings and legs, in addition to both front and back bumpers that protect its body. Rest assured, crashing and high-speed impacts won’t do much harm to your cool flying toy.
Amazing range and flight time
With a wireless range of 100 meters or 328 feet, MetaFly has an almost limitless ability to go the distance. It has a maximum speed of 18 km/h. At full charge, it can fly for an astonishing 8 minutes. Better still, you could even increase the flight time by charging MetaFly via the custom-built power bank while out flying.
Pricing info
MetaFly is currently at the crowdfunding stage and the response has been amazing. With about 40 days remaining, MetaFly has already received close to 10 times its funding goal. You can visit their campaign page to get a MetaFly for yourself.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
