LAS VEGAS—The last time I tried to fly a paper airplane was in fourth grade, and it was intercepted by a frenemy before it could reach my best friend across the classroom. Curses! This is a common issue with the old-school paper plane. They're finicky—easy to fold, hard to fly for more than five seconds.

The PowerUp 3.0 has been soaring around the convention halls at CES this week, and it brings the paper airplane game to a whole new level. It's an app-powered Bluetooth module with an attached rudder and propeller, and it clips onto an old-fashioned paper airplane that you make yourself. The whole unit only weighs a svelte 8 grams.

Yes, really. I'm talking about a tech-powered paper plane.
