Frequently asked questions about The Swift robotic bird drone
Is The Swift a drone or a robotic bird?

No. The Swift does not carry an onboard camera.
It is designed to recreate the natural flight of a bird, not to capture aerial footage.
Does The Swift have a camera?

No. The Swift does not carry an onboard camera.
It is designed to recreate the natural flight of a bird, not to capture aerial footage.
How is The Swift different from a traditional drone?

Traditional drones rely on spinning propellers for lift and stability.
The Swift uses biomimetic engineering, onboard gyro sensors, and real time flight stabilization to mimic bird flight.
This results in quieter operation, safer interaction, and a more immersive piloting experience.
Can The Swift drone be used indoors?

Yes,
The Swift is designed for controlled indoor environments thanks to its stable flight system and low speed modes.
Its lightweight structure and propeller free design make it safer for indoor flying compared to standard drones.
Is The Swift suitable for beginners in drones or robotics?

Absolutely.
The Swift includes multiple flight modes adapted to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced drone pilots.
With smartphone control, assisted stabilization, and safety features like emergency stop, it is an ideal entry point into drone technology and robotics.
What control options are available?

The Swift can be controlled via a dedicated smartphone app or an optional joystick controller.
The intuitive interface allows precise control of the robotic bird, making it accessible for both casual users and drone enthusiasts.
Is The Swift safe and crash resistant?

Yes,
The Swift features a crash resistant design using flexible and durable materials.
Its flapping wings reduce impact force, and onboard sensors help maintain stable flight, making it safer than many traditional drones.
Is The Swift a drone or a robotic bird?

No. The Swift does not carry an onboard camera.
It is designed to recreate the natural flight of a bird, not to capture aerial footage.
What is The Swift’s flight time, and how does it charge?

The Swift features an exclusive quick-swap battery system that lets you replace an empty battery with a fully charged one in just a few seconds, with no cables or connectors involved.

This means your flight sessions can be extended almost indefinitely, with only very short interruptions between flights.

The battery charges externally, on a dedicated charger rather than inside the bird.
The charger can also be powered outdoors using a standard power bank, making it easy to recharge while flying away from home.

Charging takes just 13 minutes, which is only slightly longer than a full flight.
With a second battery, you can already enjoy near-continuous flying with minimal downtime between sessions.

And because each battery has a capacity of just 60 mAh, even a medium-capacity power bank can provide dozens of recharges.
When will The Swift be delivered?

First deliveries of The Swift robotic bird drone are currently scheduled for September 2026. Updates will be provided as production progresses.
