Awarded an Innovation Award at CES 2026 in the Best of Innovation in Drones category, Antigravity A1 will soon receive a new feature: a built-in Virtual Flight Simulator to help new pilots master the skies.

Following its appearance at CES, the world’s first 8K 360 drone expands US retail availability to Amazon while Antigravity confirms that all A1 models remain fully compliant following the recent FCC “Covered List” update. Designed to help new pilots experience the drone without the risk of flying in the real world, the simulator follows the same logic as the learning lessons in popular flight simulation titles, from Microsoft Flight Simulation to DCS.

Accessible directly inside the Vision Goggles, this feature creates a complete virtual flying environment that faithfully replicates the A1’s physics and handling, allowing those new to flight to simulate before taking to the skies for real. The simulator offers a low-risk entry, allowing new pilots to build muscle memory without risking a crash. While at home preparing for the next shoot, or waiting for weather to clear, the simulator stands as the perfect choice to hone flight skills in the real world.

To celebrate the update, the brand is now offering a 15% discount on all A1 bundles in the US from January 26 to February 9.

To celebrate Antigravity’s latest update, the brand is offering 15% off all three A1 bundles (Standard, Explorer, and Infinity) in the US (and elsewhere, apparently) January 26 to February 9. The US reference is essential, though, as with its expansion to Amazon, the A1 remains one of the few premium drones widely available across major US retailers. Antigravity confirms that all A1 models remain fully compliant following the recent FCC “Covered List” update. The import, distribution, sale, and operation of the A1 continue without restriction, ensuring that US customers can fly with total peace of mind.

The “Covered List” from FCC, which lists… drones that can’t be imported, marketed, or sold in the US, unless they get a special exemption, means that DJI’s new drones can’t receive FCC equipment authorization, leaving the market open for companies like Antigravity. According to website UAV Coach, “DJI still has permission to import its most recently-released drones”, but  “any new DJI drone that hasn’t received FCC approval is effectively banned”.
