Parrot Disco: The first fixed-wing drone for Immersive flights – PanamaOn

The ultralight Disco Parrot is powerful and runs amazing aerial maneuvers: can reach a maximum speed of 80km / h and offers a flight time of 45 minutes.

It is not necessary to have previous experience pilot to control Parrot Disco. Takes off and lands automatically and comes fully equipped with a powerful autopilot function that helps control the flight. For example, when the remote control lever is tilted to the right, the drone fixed wing will in the same direction and, in turn, the autopilot will handle slightly tilt the wing and increasing engine speed.

the Parrot Disco immersive experience is very intuitive and is accessible to everyone. Parrot has created glasses HeadPlay FPV (first person view), ParrotCockpitglasses, that immerse the pilot in the thick of the action when transmitting live aerial sequences captured by the front camera Full HD Drive.

Disk you can fly with precision thanks to a new compact remote control – Parrot Skycontroller 2. enthusiasts model aircraft will also fly the drone fixed wing Parrot from your own RC command in fully manual mode and after connecting a module ( 1).

Unique for its design and ability to maneuver, Parrot Disco offers anyone the chance to enjoy an immersive flight without technical knowledge and the ability to record aerial images high quality memory using 32GB of the fixed-wing drone

-.
a unique aerodynamic model Disco Parrot is a fixed-wing drone compact (58cm x 115cm) made of EPP (polypropylene expanded) and reinforced with tubes of carbon fiber, making it lightweight (750gr) and robust at the same time.

the wings of Parrot Disco are specially designed to optimize stability and speed during the flight, thanks to an exclusive aerodynamic spoiler that reduces lift and improves wake.

the ends of the wings are equipped with Winglet (the hooked part vertically) and, as movable flaps on airplanes of passenger queued to support the

-. Powerful, for a unique flying experience
Parrot Drive runs amazing aerial maneuvers. It is driven by a brushless motor (brushless) with a double folding propeller blade, capable of alcanzar80km / h and withstand winds of 40km / h. To make the most of this unique flying experience, your battery Lipo offers a flight time of up to 45 minutes

Parrot Disco. Amazing maneuvers and pilot assisted

Parrot Disco includes a pilot automatic advanced with a processing capacity like no other: Parrot CHUCK (Control Hub & amp; Universal Computer for Kit), which ensures each stage of flight thanks to its high number of sensors

– Take-off and automatic landing <. br /> to prepare the launch of this drone fixed wing, the pilot simply press the switch at the top of the nose of Disco, followed by the button ‘takeoff / landing’ on the remote control of Parrot Skycontroller 2, Finally, throw the wing into the sky like a frisbee. Parrot Disco lift off, planning automatically up to an altitude of 50ms / 164ft and plan a circular motion until instructed the pilot.

To land, the pilot has to press the button ‘takeoff / landing’ of remote control. Then Parrot Disco tilts its flaps and reduces its altitude to 6m / 19ft. That is when the drone receives signals from the altimeter, the ultrasonic sensor and the vertical chamber and propulsion engine reverts to slow down and ensure a soft landing in a straight line

-. Piloting attended
the stability of Parrot Disco comes from the algorithms developed for Parrot CHUCK, which adapt the parameters along the flight and prevent any stop device when the pilot makes a critical maneuver.

the tube Pitot, used in the aircraft industry, provides information onboard computer on the “airspeed”, which is essential to adapt the engine power in real time and secure the lifting device. Along with an inertial navigation system (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and altimeter) and a module GNSS (GPS + GLONASS), direction, altitude and flight speed is automatically maintained to simplify piloting Disco. Finally, for optimal security, the functions of “Return to the starting point” and “geofence” proposed by the FreeFlight Pro application, allow Parrot automatically Discovuelva on its takeoff position, thanks to the accuracy of your GPS.

– Manual mode
Parrot Disco perfectly fits the model airplane enthusiasts and is compatible with most remote controls RC type. Just connect an RC transmitter (sold separately) to the Parrot C.H.U.C.K. Then the pilot will have to use their skills to do stunts with the drone fixed wing in full manual mode

Parrot Cockpitglasses. Immersive experience with a smartphone

To enjoy! an experience more intense, immersive and extraordinary flight, Parrot has created HeadPlay FPV glasses. Parrot Cockpitglasses (2)

(2) the use of Parrot Cockpitglasses requires the presence of a co-pilot. Before flying, you must check the local regulations

The pilot must simply insert the smartphone (3), which are being broadcast live recorded by the front camera Full HD sequences of 14 megapixels Disc.

(3) iOS or Android

Then you can enjoy fully immersive images in wide angle and HD, perfectly stable without distortion. You can also track other unsafe flight thanks to radar data and telemétricos- placing shown on the screen

Parrot Skycontroller. 2: piloting precision available to all

Parrot Disco comes with Parrot Skycontroller 2, a new remote MIMO Wi-Fi in XS format that provides a theoretical range of 2 kms.

Completely redesigned to blur the boundaries between the controls of video games and radio control (RC), Parrot Skycontroller 2 is lightweight (750gr), compact and easy to handle.

the two joysticks are handled separately to ensure the accuracy of the flight, controlling the speed of the drone , direction, altitude … Its customizable buttons ‘direct access’ and ‘trigger’, provide access to the many features and options of fixed-wing drone and Parrot Cockpitglasses. This includes the “direct view” function, with which the pilot can see the disk through the smartphone camera while wearing them the FPV glasses Parrot.

Parrot Skycontroller 2 can also be connected to a smartphone or tablet iOS or Android through the new FreeFlight Pro application, providing the pilot transmission smooth video and a platform to adjust settings Parrot Disco (eg geofencing or limitation of altitude / distance; video recording in the . 32Gb memory flying wing …)

FreeFlight Pro: the specific application for Superdrones Parrot (4)

(4) Parrot Bebop, Parrot Bebop 2 and Parrot Disco

the FreeFlight Pro app is available for free in AppStore and Google Play.

its intuitive interface allows users to customize orders and flight parameters at their level. This includes speed, altitude limitation or distance, management of Wi-Fi, the parameters of the photos / video and see live sequences captured by Parrot Disk from a smartphone or iOS or Android tablet.

Parrot cloud, which is also free and is integrated with FreeFlight Pro, stores information for each flight. With FreeFlight Pro it is also possible to configure Parrot Skycontroller 2 for customize your commands.

It also gives users access to “Flight Plan” (option in the application) to easily create automatic flights.
