InnoFlightBorn to Fly.
Made to Win.
Programme real flight missions with drag-and-drop blocks, preview the Python behind them, and fly your drone by hand — all from one iPad, built for the classroom.
One app, from first block to first flight
Code drones with blocks
Program full flight missions with drag-and-drop blocks — no typing needed to start.
Fly live from your iPad
Manual flight with a live video feed, dual joysticks, and real-time telemetry.
Track every flight
Time Trial logs record each run and export to CSV + JSON for grading.
Works with educational drones
Mission pads, an LED matrix, and an expansion ToF sensor are all supported. A simple Connect flow gets a class of iPads onto the drone's Wi-Fi and into the air in moments.
Built to teach. Built to fly.

Set up in three steps
Power on your drone
Charge and power on your drone — wait for the front light to blink.
Join its Wi-Fi & allow Local Network
Connect your iPad to the drone's Wi-Fi network in Settings, then allow Local Network access when InnoFlight asks.
Open InnoFlight and tap Connect
Tap Connect on the Home screen — your drone unlocks the full Blockly workspace and live flight controls.
Frequently asked questions
Everything teachers and students ask us before, during and after a flight.
Connecting
How do I connect my drone?expand_more
Power on the drone, join its Wi-Fi network in iPad Settings, open InnoFlight, tap Connect, and tap “Allow” for Local Network access.
The app can't find my drone / connection fails.expand_more
Check you're on the drone's Wi-Fi, the front light is blinking, the battery is charged, and Local Network is enabled in Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › InnoFlight, then tap Connect again.
Why does it ask for “Local Network” permission?expand_more
InnoFlight talks to the drone directly over its Wi-Fi, which iPadOS gates behind this permission. Without it, connecting can't work.
Do I need an internet connection?expand_more
No. The drone's Wi-Fi has no internet; InnoFlight works fully offline once installed.
Using InnoFlight
How do I see the code behind my blocks?expand_more
Open the Python tab; it shows the live Python code for your block program.
The video feed won't start.expand_more
The live feed is off by default to save the drone's Wi-Fi and battery. Tap the video button on the Fly screen, or add a Start Video block to your program.
Can I fly the drone manually?expand_more
Yes: dual on-screen joysticks, a live video feed, and one-tap photo/video capture.
How do I save or export results?expand_more
Time Trial Logs records every run. Export shares a CSV summary plus a JSON backup (AirDrop / Mail / Save to Files); Import restores them.
Can I re-open the exact program from a past run?expand_more
Open the log and tap “Open in Editor” — it loads that run's blocks as a frozen copy that won't affect your latest mission.
Flight & Safety
Is it safe for classrooms?expand_more
Takeoff and land use slide-to-confirm, there's a one-tap Emergency Stop, automatic crash detection, and low-battery auto-land. Always fly in a clear, open space.
A flight command was rejected by the drone.expand_more
Some commands have firmware limits (e.g. a curve's arc radius must be 0.5–10 m). InnoFlight warns you in the editor and explains how to adjust.
Compatibility
Which iPads and drones are supported?expand_more
Any iPad on iPadOS 15 or later, paired with a compatible educational drone that uses an open plain-text Wi-Fi command protocol.
Is every drone model supported?expand_more
No. InnoFlight is built and tested against specific educational drone models, and some features depend on extended hardware and newer firmware. Check the current compatibility list before buying.
What languages does the app support?expand_more
English and Traditional Chinese (繁體中文).
Data & Privacy
Do students need an account?expand_more
No accounts and no sign-in. Missions and flight logs are stored on the device.
Where is my data kept?expand_more
On the iPad. Exported files only leave the device when you choose to share them.
