Parto presented at the end of last month Parrot Disco, a fixed-wing drone that brings a novelty to the way we pilot its drones. As if that were not enough, this is another of the fantastic devices that Parrot is presenting in this field. A few days ago we were at the presentation of Parrot Swing and Mambo, two spectacular minidrones. We focus now on Parrot Disco, a fantastic drone whose main quality is the possibility of controlling it through glasses that will put our eyes in the air, giving us a "bird's eye view" and the sensation of flying as we have never experienced before.
This is a fixed-wing drone, you mean we came across a small drone as close to a real plane as possible, not the classic quadcopter. TOIt reaches dizzying speeds, up to 80 km / h to experience the sensation of high performance flight. However, what really makes the product stand out are the Parrot Cockpitglasses, giving us a total immersive experience thanks to the FullHD resolution of its screen. This device will allow us to enjoy the flights, as well as achieve a much more precise control, however, it is not the only novelty that this peculiar drone hides.
The Parrot Disco has an automatic take-off and landing systemIn this way, it minimizes the negative sections of these fixed-wing drones, since quadcopters always have this type of task easier. However, the autopilot can also be activated in flight.
How could it be otherwise, in addition to the glasses and the drone, the product includes a controller with quite precise joysticks that respond to pressure actively, and a design similar to that of glasses. Skycontroller 2 has been how Parrot's colleagues have baptized the Disco controller. In addition, it includes 32GB of internal storage to save our recordings. As an accessory, we also have the application for Android and iOS called FreeFlight Pro.
