The Makeblock Airblock is a modular and programmable aircraft that is versatile and easy-to-use, and can transform from hexacopter drone into a hovercraft or even a custom design, where propellers can be connected in many different ways, with the performance parameters of the individual propeller modules being individually programmable.
An innovative design combines a main module with six propeller modules, that connect to the main module via custom-engineered magnetic connectors, making any assembly quick and easy, and enabling different configurations to be achieved within moments. The main module houses an ultrasonic sensor, barometer, gyroscope and Bluetooth module, which is used to connect to the mobile app.
The aircraft/hovercraft is controlled, via Bluetooth, by a mobile app that is available for both iOS and Android. The graphical programming interface uses the mBlock graphical programming language that is based on Scratch 2.0. Programming is fun and easy even for beginners without prior coding experience. When operating the vehicle the user interface shows flight controls as well as dedicated special effects buttons for those aerobatic moments. Real time information is also displayed, such as altitude, signal strength, battery condition, etc.
