A flying mathematical object that moves by turning itself inside out.

SmartInversion is an ultralight flying object that moves through its own inversion: rhythmic expansion and contraction produce both translation and rotation in the air.

We provided all calculations, electronics and the control system — including an app to steer it from an Android smartphone. A mesmerising eye-catcher.
