Bitcraze – Flapper Nimble+ Starter Kit

Bitcraze Flapper Nimble+ Starter Kit

The Flapper Nimble+ is the world’s first commercially available tailless flapping wing robot, now exclusively available via our website! Developed and manufactured by Flapper Drones, the Nimble+ is a development platform focused on universities, research labs and drone show operators eager to start exploring the emerging field of bioinspired aerial robotics.

The soft flapping wings produce a natural, non-intrusive sound and make the Nimble+ safe to other objects or humans, yet very responsive and agile.

Package Contents:

1 x Nimble+ flapping-wing robot
1 x 2.4 GHz transmitter with OpenTX/EdgeTX
2 x Wing set (1 + 1 spare)
2 x 300mAh 2S LiPo battery (1 + 1 spare)
1 x Landing gear
1 x Body shell set
1 x Wear and tear spare set
1 x USB 2S LiPo battery charger
1 x Crazyradio 2.0
1 x Flight case (46 x 33 x 15 cm)
USB-A to USB-C cable (for transmitter charging)

The soft flapping wings produce a natural, non-intrusive sound and make the Nimble+ safe to other objects or humans, yet very responsive and agile.

The 49-cm and 114-g Nimble+ are powered by our Crazyflie Bolt 1.1. This means it still enjoys the same perks as our Crazyflies, including the low-latency/long-range radio and Android/iOS app. What is best, it remains compatible with our extensive ecosystem of software and many of the deck expansions, so switching to the Nimble+ from a Crazyflie is a breeze.

The use cases range from academic research (flight dynamics, flight control, swarming) and education (animal flight, bioinspired robotics) to entertainment (drone shows, flying characters).

Features:
  • Ready to fly kit
    • Attach the wings and fly! No tools required…
  • Hover, fly forward or sideways, turn, climb & descent
    • Bioinspired wing actuation
    • Brushless drive motors
    • Coreless digital servos with precision metal gears
  • 5-minute battery life when hovering with full payload
  • Up to 20% more in forward flight
  • Precise control for fun manual flight
  • Dedicated 2.4 GHz transmitter for precise control
  • Smartphone App (Android/iOS) when packing light
  • Crazyflie Bolt flight control board
  • Application microcontroller (STM32F405)
    • Radio & power management microcontroller (nRF51822)
  • 3 axis gyro & 3 axis accelerometer (BMI088)
  • High-precision pressure sensor (BMP388)
  • Compatible with the Crazyflie ecosystem
    • Open-source firmware
    • Open-source libraries for high-level control
    • Wireless firmware updates
    • Wireless telemetry
  • Autonomous flight & addons
  • LPS/Lighthouse and other expansion decks for autonomous flight (sold separately)
