CCP, a toy maker in Japan, says the Nano-Falcon can fit the tastes of both children and adults. The company also claims its product is the world's smallest remote control helicopter.

"Japan's aging population is what makes us think of making adult toys." 10 or 20 years ago, people had to spend large sums of money to buy helicopters. Now, people can afford toy helicopters at affordable prices to satisfy their childhood dreams , " said Naoki Nakagawa, head of sales at CCP.

Kiyoko Hayasaki, a CCP spokeswoman, said the company used the popular phone parts to make the Nano-Falcon.

"We can sell at relatively low prices because we buy smartphone components to make helicopters," Hayasaki said.

The retail price of each unit is about 4,700 yen (over 1,000,000).
