iStrike Shuttle it is a helicopter that can be remotely controlled using an iDevice and a special application, and in the video clip above you have a small demonstration of how it works. Although helicopters of this type have been on the market for a long time, iStrike Shuttle comes with something new, more precisely, it has the ability to transport small objects over not very long distances. You can carry a tennis ball, or anything else that can be caught in the helicopter's claws, and using the iOS application you can guide it to the target and release the object.
This is the flying vehicle that drops a table tennis ball at the command of a controlling iPhone. A free downloaded app turns an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a wireless touchscreen remote control, allowing indoor or outdoor use up to 30' away. The app uses the motion-sensing accelerometers built into smart devices to allow the simple tilt and pan of an iPhone or iPad to precisely control the bomber's movements, accompanied by a direction and speed indicator; a swipe of a finger controls the throttle and a press of a button releases its plastic ordnance on-target.
iStrike Shuttle has a flight autonomy of only 5 minutes, and the battery has a charging time of 60 minutes, so you can only use it for a limited period of time. The helicopter can be purchased available here at the price of $130.
