PriyaAir is a 6DoF simulator exploring the cheapest path to controlled flight. Modern drones are complex and expensive. We start with a simple paper plane + light-guided control surfaces. The result: an accessible, low-cost way to glide, guide, and fly. Try the live simulator or enquire about the physical concept. Start with less. Fly with more imagination.

Partial The 6DoF flight simulator is codeable with physics libraries, but the physical paper-plane drone with light-guided control surfaces needs aerodynamics and hardware work that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: The simulator would use a rigid-body physics engine with aerodynamic models and a web or desktop front end. The real product needs airframe design, a light-sensing and servo control loop, and embedded firmware, which requires aerospace and embedded hardware expertise plus prototyping and testing.
