AIRBLOCK

AIRBLOCK




With magnetic attachments and modularity, the Airblock drone is only limited by your imagination.AIRBLOCK
We want to encourage the spirit of creation in everyone!


Features
Airblock is made of lightweight, engineered foam that is soft, strong and durable. The fans/blades are 
surrounded by hexagons, so they’re not directly exposed to objects. Airblock is safe to fly around kids 
and for kids to safely fly.
 
The Aerodynamics Behind The Hovercraft
The lift from the four propellers allows Airblock to do a number of stunts, and by selecting two 
propellers from either side, it can generate specific movements. For instance, the two propellers 
located on the back of the hovercraft drive the hovercraft forward. The two propellers located in the 
front drive the hovercraft backward. Getting two propellers to push against each other enables the 
hovercraft to go left or right. With a little bit of knowledge in physics and aerodynamics, you can 
even make the hovercraft drift, slide or rotate in any direction!

Founded in 2011, Makeblock is a leading DIY robotics construction and programming learning 
platform for makers, STEM learners, educators and hobbyists. Makeblock provides over 500
