Betaflight runs on flight controllers from around 140 manufacturers, and each manufacturer supports its own hardware. Boards that the development team has reviewed, and whose manufacturer has committed to support them, are marked Betaflight Supported, and the Betaflight Partner program works directly with manufacturers on their designs.

The user community is active and helpful, and is the place to ask about your build and setup, with a Facebook group of over 30,000 members and a growing Discord server. Considerable support resources also exist on Youtube, made by third parties.

Betaflight is 'Open Source', so you can look at the source code and contribute to the project on GitHub. The team has a robust review system in order to maintain clean code, and we are always looking for talented contributors.

With the Betaflight On Screen Display you can use drag-and-drop to set up key flight metrics into your FPV video feed. This allows data such as battery metrics, speed, altitude and home direction.

Alerts for and arming blocks for improper setup, and disarm mechanisms are built in to avoid accidents. A comprehensive failsafe mechanism is featured to assist in flight issues.

Betaflight was created for cutting edge flight performance. This has been achieved by optimizing the reaction time to disturbances, the accuracy of stick tracking, and the processing of digital signals.
