Parrot has announced the launch of the Parrot Disco – a fixed-wing drone that provides the fully immersive flight experience, claims the manufacturer.
The ultra-lightweight Parrot Disco can reach top speeds of 80 km/h and offers 45 minutes of flight time. Previous piloting experience isn’t necessary as it takes-off and lands automatically and comes fully equipped with a powerful autopilot function to help control the flight. For example, when the control stick of the remote control is tilted to the right, it will curve in the same direction, while the autopilot takes care of lightly tilting the wing and increasing the speed of the engine.
Parrot has created a first person view (FPV) headplay Parrot Cockpit glasses, which livestreams the airborne footage captured by Disco’s Full HD frontal camera.
It comes with a compact remote control – the Parrot Skycontroller 2. Model aircraft enthusiasts will also be able to pilot Parrot’s fixed-wing drone from their own RC controller, in full manual mode and after connecting a module1.
Parrot Disco offers everyone the possibility of an immersive flight without having any technical knowledge, and the possibility to record high quality aerial shots using the fixed-wing drone’s 32GB memory.
