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 drone technology. 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. The main features of X-Fly 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. A dedicated smartphone app : The X-Fly's enhanced user experience lies in its smartphone app, designed from the outset to deliver an effortless flying experience. The app uses Bluetooth technology for seamless connectivity, allowing users to navigate the sky with simple swipes and tilts. A patented joystick : For those who prefer a more tactile interaction, the X-Fly also supports the X-Play joystick. This optional accessory turns the smartphone into a traditional remote control adding the haptic feedback and precision of a physical joystick. A physical connector for external add-on modules , which will allow new features to be added over time. Already in the catalogue, LED and Buzzer add-on modules (optional), with many more to come. Your X-Fly can continue to evolve after your purchase! Wireless swappable battery system : One of the outstanding features of the X-Fly is its innovative wireless ejectable battery system, which eliminates the downtime associated with recharging batteries. With the X-Fly, the battery can be replaced in seconds without any wires or connectors. Versatile flying experience : Able to fly indoors and outdoors, the X-Fly supports aerobatics and smooth gliding, redefining the boundaries of recreational flying. 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 offers 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. X-Fly is the first ornithopter to incorporate sensor assistance, effectively filtering out vibrations 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. 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. Feature-rich application - four flight modes TheFlyingApp (available on Android and coming soon to iOS) , X-Fly's 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 Touch Portrait mode: Control the X-Fly with one hand using the circular control area on your smartphone in vertical orientation. Easily manage the throttle (up/down) and steering (left/right) with intuitive touch controls. Tilt Portrait 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. Landscape Touch mode : For two-handed control, switch to horizontal mode. Use one thumb to steer and the other to manage the throttle, providing precise, balanced flight control. Discover additional control options with the optional XPlay Joystick** , which can be easily attached to your smartphone to transform it into a true radio control system, with the unrivalled precision of physical joysticks. *Wireless connection **not included Ejectable battery - continues flight 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 * (optional) : 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! * Please note that the additional battery is not included but is available in the Bundle Kit ! Open platform to customize your flight An open platform for customising your flight: thanks to the external connector on its board, X-Fly is designed as an open platform. It allows you to easily customise your drone by adding various OPTIONAL* add-ons. 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! *Available in the Bundle Kit Technical specifications Review: X-Fly is a beautiful robot bird - Love it very much, actually want to buy another one. The price is very fair for what it does. Anyone who leaves a negative review is unaware of the complexity of engineering such a device. This is a solid device. Review: Doesnt work - I ordered the bionic biird with the XF Bundle kit all for about 140 bucks, first the light from the bundeled kit, the wires just came right off no way to put back on and where the wire connected, the thin plastic locking bar broke. Oh well I can still fly it, so I thought... the first 2 flights seemed to go ok but wouldnt stay flying even going streight it would just land or crash, after a close inspection of the mechanism which makes the wings flap was sticking so the wings didnt flap at a steady speed sometimes the wings wouldnt flap at all and yes the batteries were fully charged. I did try a graphite spray no help. I do not recomend! I would have returned it but when I bought it I had a 6 month long trip I had to go on so here it is way past the return date. ## Features - (This is not a toy - handle and assemble with care) *The smartphone app is compatible with Android only* X-Fly, a new generation of smartphone-controlled bird drone with interchangeable battery. Flight assisted by gyroscopic sensors and exclusive, custom-developed algorithms. Equipped with an intelligent application and a scalable platform. Straight-line, anti-fall flight (see details below). - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Ultra-light: 12.2 g/compact - 380mm wingspan - Robust body structure, elastic wings, tail, legs and head to protect against impact. - Specially developed reinforced bearing micromotor (1.6 Watt) - Patented, fully symmetrical flapping wing mechanism with integrated micro speed reducer. - Precise and immediate directional control by deforming the wings for aerial stunts. - Efficient glide thanks to its very low weight-to-wing-area ratio (3.7 g/d2). Controllable glide. - Takes off and lands on the ground thanks to its legs. - Flies both inside and outside. - FLIGHT ASSISTANCE - Pilot aids: algorithms using both pilot commands and sensor measurements. - Advanced technology: sensors developed with the French army, using a 6-axis gyroscope to make it easier to steer the aircraft. - This is the first drone with flapping wings to be able to incorporate this technology, which until now has only been possible on propeller UAVs. - Anti-fall assistance: this prevents the drone from rapidly losing altitude during a turn. - Straight flight assistance: straight flight corrects the bird's heading. - CONTINUOUS FLIGHT - Autonomy: continuous flight for up to 12 minutes per charge. - The battery can be recharged in 12 minutes on its dedicated charger, which can be connected to any USB charger (smartphone charger, computer port, etc.). - Exclusive battery swap system: the battery can be swapped instantly with another battery that has already been charged, for continuous flight time. - CONTROL - Controlled by smartphone (XPlay controller optional) - the accelerator: similar to that of a car, controls the speed at which the wings flap (adjustable from 5 km/h to 20 km/h depending on the tail setting). This allows you to manage the bird's altitude, or to glide when the tail is set to the lowest setting. Thanks to its super-light weight, it glides very well. - Steering (left/right): a patented micro-mechanism imitates the movements of real birds by deforming the wings to turn. - A rudder improves steering control when gliding. - CONTROL APPLICATION - Available for Android via Bluetooth 5.2 for remote control of the bird in flight. - 150 m range from the device (for pre-Bluetooth 5.0 versions, the 150 m range may be significantly reduced). - Multi-player system (several people flying in the same place). - Firmware updates via the application. - Different control interfaces: intuitive mode/classic mode/XPlay controller mode (optional). Each mode and assistance is fully configurable and adjustable to suit each user. - Configurable LED modules and buzzer (optional) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D984D2TV | | Age Range (Description) | Kid | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Are batteries included? | Yes | | Battery Capacity | 58 Milliamp Hours | | Battery Cell Composition | Lithium Polymer | | Best Sellers Rank | #491,363 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,080 in Hobby RC Quadcopters & Multirotors | | Brand | BionicBird | | Brand Name | BionicBird | | Color | orange | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, USB | | Control Type | App Control | | Customer Reviews | 3.0 out of 5 stars 17 Reviews | | Included Components | Battery, USB Charger, USB Type-C Cable | | Includes Rechargeable Battery | Yes | | Includes Remote? | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.87"L x 14.96"W x 2.75"H | | Item Weight | 12.2 Grams | | Manufacturer | XTIM | | Material | Plastic | | Maximum Range | 150 Meters | | Model Name | X-Fly | | Model Number | XFLY | | Optical Sensor Technology | CMOS | | Part Number | XFLY | | Remote Control Technology | Bluetooth | | Skill Level | Beginner | | Special Feature | Anti-Fall, Compact, Crash Resistant, Gyroscopic Stabilization, Lightweight | | Special Features | Anti-Fall, Compact, Crash Resistant, Gyroscopic Stabilization, Lightweight | | Video Capture Format | MP4 | | Video Capture Resolution | 1080p | | Wireless Communication Technology | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** BionicBird - **Color:** orange - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth, USB - **Included Components:** Battery, USB Charger, USB Type-C Cable - **Item Weight:** 12.2 Grams - **Model Name:** X-Fly - **Skill Level:** Beginner - **Special Feature:** Anti-Fall, Compact, Crash Resistant, Gyroscopic Stabilization, Lightweight - **Video Capture Resolution:** 1080p ## Images ![X-Fly Bionic Bird - sensor assisted ornithopter drone | RC & smartphone controlled for iOS & Android| Easy to fly with Autopilot & 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer | next-gen flapping wings | For pilots & beginners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AnLAQfC0L.jpg) ![X-Fly Bionic Bird - sensor assisted ornithopter drone | RC & smartphone controlled for iOS & Android| Easy to fly with Autopilot & 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer | next-gen flapping wings | For pilots & beginners - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61c8mcEKIJL.jpg) ![X-Fly Bionic Bird - sensor assisted ornithopter drone | RC & smartphone controlled for iOS & Android| Easy to fly with Autopilot & 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer | next-gen flapping wings | For pilots & beginners - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZtQzSs8UL.jpg) ![X-Fly Bionic Bird - sensor assisted ornithopter drone | RC & smartphone controlled for iOS & Android| Easy to fly with Autopilot & 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer | next-gen flapping wings | For pilots & beginners - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817C+MSGtmL.jpg) ![X-Fly Bionic Bird - sensor assisted ornithopter drone | RC & smartphone controlled for iOS & Android| Easy to fly with Autopilot & 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer | next-gen flapping wings | For pilots & beginners - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fuFDpmqPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ X-Fly is a beautiful robot bird *by J***I on July 8, 2025* Love it very much, actually want to buy another one. The price is very fair for what it does. Anyone who leaves a negative review is unaware of the complexity of engineering such a device. This is a solid device. ### ⭐ Doesnt work *by B***N on December 20, 2025* I ordered the bionic biird with the XF Bundle kit all for about 140 bucks, first the light from the bundeled kit, the wires just came right off no way to put back on and where the wire connected, the thin plastic locking bar broke. Oh well I can still fly it, so I thought... the first 2 flights seemed to go ok but wouldnt stay flying even going streight it would just land or crash, after a close inspection of the mechanism which makes the wings flap was sticking so the wings didnt flap at a steady speed sometimes the wings wouldnt flap at all and yes the batteries were fully charged.

I would have returned it but when I bought it I had a 6 month long trip I had to go on so here it is way past the return date. ### ⭐ Disappointing *by J***G on May 22, 2025* I was really excited about this product, but ended up disappointed. I ordered both the bird and the joystick pack. The joystick pack arrived promptly, but the package with the bird ended up "undeliverable." When I tried to re-order it was back ordered. After weeks of waiting it finally arrived. I couldn't get it to connect to my iPhone 16 pro, and after taking the battery in and out a few times the battery hatch clip broke. So I ended up returning it. I will be interested in buying it again when the bugs are worked out. ## Frequently Bought Together - X-Fly Bionic Bird - sensor assisted ornithopter drone | RC & smartphone controlled for iOS & Android| Easy to fly with Autopilot & 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer | next-gen flapping wings | For pilots & beginners - XF Bundle Kit for IOS & Android devices by BionicBird - Controller & accessories compatible with the X-Fly ornithopter drone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/680577566-x-fly-bionic-bird-sensor-assisted-ornithopter-drone-rc-smartphone](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/680577566-x-fly-bionic-bird-sensor-assisted-ornithopter-drone-rc-smartphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
