Buy Hopper once and it keeps getting better. In July 2026, Firmware 2.0 shipped free to every Hopper ever sold, so the drone you buy today is not the drone you are stuck with. Hardware and curriculum bundles for CTE, workforce, defense readiness, and higher education. NDAA Section 889 compliant. Purchase orders accepted.
Year one is the whole program: Hopper® drones, controllers, batteries, carry cases, tools, spare parts, a 1-year Build Fly Code® platform subscription, and the BFC Activity Set. After that, the only recurring cost is the annual platform renewal. The drone is a one-time purchase that keeps getting better, not hardware you rebuy every few years. Sized for standard CTE cohorts. NDAA Section 889 compliant. Perkins V eligible.
Build Fly Code® Hopper® 4 Bundle $2,720. Hopper® 8 Bundle $4,040. Hopper® 12 Bundle $5,600. Hopper® 20 Bundle $9,900. Single Hopper® drone $300. Build Fly Code® Platform Access $500 per year.

Hopper Firmware 2.0 is here. It is the largest improvement to flight control and stability we have ever shipped.
Hopper holds position better, responds more precisely, and handles rough landings without drama. Crash detection was rebuilt, so a normal landing no longer leaves the drone unable to take off again.
Every Hopper gets it. Free. It loads onto drones already in the field through the FTW Fly app in a few minutes. Nothing to buy, nothing to ship back, no new hardware.
That is possible because FTW owns its entire flight control and telemetry stack. American built, wholly owned, zero outside dependency. When the software gets better, the drones already in your classroom get better with it.
Watch the walkthrough, then open FTW Fly and update yours.
