Meet Eagle, the programmable drone that turns coding into flight
Eagle is a coding drone for schools that teaches flight control, navigation and spatial thinking through real indoor and outdoor challenges — built for coding clubs and STEM labs too.
A coding drone for schools, built for hands-on STEM missions
Eagle is a programmable drone that teaches coding and flight control, navigation and spatial thinking, through indoor and outdoor challenges and mission-based problem-solving. Learners code routes, react to sensor input, and see the results in the air — building logic, physics and computational thinking one flight at a time. Eagle is designed by Whalesbot, whose coding platform also powers our AI-vision robotics range.
Why Choose the Eagle Drone?
Six qualities that make Eagle the easiest way to bring flight and coding into the classroom.
Multi-Sensor Awareness
An AI image sensor, optical flow sensor, laser range sensor, gyroscope and barometer let Eagle sense, react and follow.
Code Routes, Trigger Actions
Program flight paths and mission logic with block-based coding, then run them back with the tap of a button.
4 x I/O Expandable Ports
Add new sensors and actuators as skills grow, from flame detection to obstacle avoidance.
Lightweight, Kid-Safe Design
Compact at under 92g with full propeller guards, Eagle is easy to carry and safe for indoor flight.
Indoor & Outdoor Challenges
From enclosed classroom flight to open-air missions, Eagle scales from a first flight to a full course.
Mission-Based Problem-Solving
Structured missions turn coding practice into navigation, spatial thinking and real problem-solving.
What's inside the Eagle 1003
A genuine engineering platform, built to be opened up, understood and expanded.
Structural Parts
Full propeller guards and a modular airframe designed for classroom durability.
Sensors
AI image sensor, optical flow sensor, laser range sensor, 6-axis gyroscope, barometric pressure sensor.
Actuator
Hollow cup motors for responsive, precise flight control.
Controllers
EG103 flight controller, the same platform used across the Eagle series.
Programming Methods
Block-based coding or IR remote controller, so every skill level has a way in.
Expandability
4 x I/O ports for add-on sensors and actuators as a curriculum grows.
An AI vision module plus 20+ add-on sensors
From flame sensors to obstacle detection, Eagle's expandable sensor suite turns every flight into a chance to test, measure and react to the real world.
Steady in the air, precise in the classroom
An optical flow sensor, gyroscope, barometer and laser module work together to keep every flight steady and accurate — even in the hands of a first-time flyer.

Let's compare!
Eagle is feasible for coding and remote control, giving flexibility across age groups and skill levels.
IR Remote Control
Kids fly Eagle by remote from the very first lesson — an intuitive way to build confidence before writing a single line of code.
Block-Based Coding
As confidence grows, learners drag and drop blocks to code full routes and trigger actions mid-flight.
Easy to carry, safe to fly
Compact and lightweight at under 92g, Eagle is easy to carry between classrooms and offers over 8 minutes of flight time on a single charge — enough for a full lesson of missions and re-flights.
One coding platform, three ways to fly
Every Eagle model shares the same coding foundation, built for a different stage of the STEM journey.
