Buy Hopper once and it keeps getting better. When a programmable drone is used in a classroom and gets discontinued, the program starts over. Hopper is the drone that does not leave you there. In July 2026, Firmware 2.0 shipped free to every Hopper ever sold, so the drone you buy today keeps improving on the same airframe. Built with secure US technology and a real sensor and computer vision array, Hopper is robust, reusable, and scalable for years, designed to help students solve real-world problems in the classroom. Hopper is named after Grace Murray Hopper, an icon FTW holds in high regard.

Hopper Firmware 2.0 is here. A brand new sensor fusion and flight stability algorithm delivers decisively better flight.
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.
