A platform that allows smartphones to fly
And not just smartphones. Flone is a platform for the empowerment of air space.
An open source drone to conquer the airspace
We have used flone for:
-
Map trees at risk of logging.
-
Document art murals.
-
Defend activists.
-
Educate about the air space.
-
Spread messages massively.
-
Generate maps for communities in social exclusion.
-
And much more…
Free Libre Open Source
We have the social mission to build a free and independent airspace. Free software is essential to guarantee its neutrality, just as it happens on the Internet, airspace should not depend on the domain of any corporation or proprietary technology.
Digital Fabrication
We use laser cutting because it opens up creative possibilities and opportunities for local development and global distribution. It allows a quick and economic access to production tools, affecting the processes of social development promoting new forms of property, industrial flexibility and cooperation.
Education
We seek to create a tool that is educational and revolutionary, that can be used professionally around the world.
Obsolescence
Like all other consumer goods, drones have an impact on the garbage we produce. We use wood, a biodegradable material that can be repaired or disposed of in the event of an accident without generating waste and the electrical skeleton can be easily reused. It is designed with the minimum necessary elements to fly, looking for the reuse of components, such as smartphones.
Airspace is public space,
we have the right to fly.
