Drone Features

Fixed-Wing Drone: With its aerodynamic design, streamlined look, fixed wings, light carbon and EPP (expanded polypropylene) body, the Parrot Disco FPV is naturally designed to fly like a plane. The Parrot Disco FPV's wings are especially engineered to optimize both stability and speed in flight, thanks to an exclusive aerodynamic airfoil which reduces trail and improves lift. The extremities of the wings are equipped with Winglets (the vertically hooked part) and mobile ailerons positioned on the trailing edge, to support steering like an aircraft.

49.71mph Max Speed: The Parrot Disco FPV offers impressive flight performance due to is powerful motor design. Its propelled by a brushless engine with a folding bi-blade propeller and can reach speeds up to 49.71 mph and resist winds of 24 mph.

Skycontroller 2: The Parrot Disco FPV comes with Parrot's Skycontroller 2 for wireless remote control of the fixed-wing drone. The Parrot Skycontroller 2 is compact and lightweight at only 1.6 lbs. The Skycontroller 2 utilizes dual-band WiFi MIMO technology to wirelessly control the Disco FPV up to 1.2 miles away. The Skycontroller 2 features two joysticks that independently maneuver to ensure in-flight precision by controlling the drone's speed, direction, and altitude. The Skycontroller also works in conjunction with the included Cockpitglasses for FPV (first person view) and the FreeFlight Pro App on your Apple iOS or Android device for live video footage. The Skycontroller 2 operates off of a built-in, rechargeable LiPo battery (2700maH) that can last up to 4 hours.

• Mobile Device Cradle + FreeFlight Pro App: The included mobile device cradle allows you to attach your Apple iOS or Android device to the Parrot Skycontroller 2, so you can use your mobile device and the FreeFlight Pro application for seamless live video streaming from the fixed-wing drone's front camera. A USB connection is also required between your iOS or Android device and the Skycontroller 2. The cradle will fit Apple iOS & Android devices that measure between 4.75" -7.125".
• FPV Cockpitglasses + Direct View: The Skycontroller 2's Direct View function enables the pilot to see the Disco FPV through the camera of your Apple iPhone or Android smartphone when wearing the Parrot FPV Cockpitglasses.

Pilot Modes: You don't have to be an experienced pilot with the Parrot Disco FPV. You can set it up to take off and land automatically, plus enable a powerful autopilot function to help control the fixed-wing drone in flight. If you are an experienced pilot, then you can switch to manual mode.

• Auto Take-Off & Landing: To prepare the fixed-wing drone for auto takeoff, you simply push the switch located on the upper part of the Disco FPV's nose, followed by the "takeoff/landing" button on the Parrot Skycontroller 2 remote control, and finally toss the wing towards the sky like a frisbee. The Parrot Disco FPV then takes flight, ascending automatically to an altitude of 164', at which point the fixed-wing drone will fly in a circular pattern until it receives instructions from you, the pilot. To land, you must press the "takeoff/landing" button on the Skycontroller 2. The Parrot Disco FPV then inclines its flaps and descends below 19' in altitude. Following the indications from the altimeter, ultrasound sensor and vertical camera, the engine's thrust reverses to reduce the speed in order to ensure a smooth landing in a straight line.
• Assisted Piloting: The Parrot Disco FPV automatically adapts its parameters throughout the flight and prevents stalling while you are making critical maneuvers. The fixed-wing drone's onboard computer detects airspeed information which is crucial to adapt its engine output in real-time and ensure the lift of the aerial drone. Coupled with an inertial navigation system (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and altimeter) and a GNSS module (GPS + GLONASS), the direction, altitude and speed of the flight are automatically maintained to simplify the piloting of Disco FPV.
• Manual Mode: You can turn off the "auto" and "assisted" features and fully control the Parrot Disco FPV manually from the Skycontroller 2 remote controller. In "Manual" mode, you can also pilot the Parrot Disc FPV drone from an RC controller after connecting an optional RC module (sold separately).

Safety Features: For optimum safety, the Parrot Disco FPV offers Geofence, Return Home, and Lost Connection functions.

• Geofence: Geofence can be activated to limit the range the Parrot Disco FPV. You can limit its maximum distance, maximum altitude, and minimum altitude.
• Return Home: When the Return Home button is pressed on the Skycontroller 2, the Parrot Disco FPV sets its altitude to 164', comes back towards its initial starting position and makes 196.85' diameter circles above this position.
• Lost Connection: If the connection is lost during flight between the Parrot Skycontroller 2 and the Parrot Disco FPV, the fixed-wing drone will fly in 196.85' diameter circles for a specified time period (10 seconds by default). If the connection is not restored, the Parrot Disco FPV returns to its starting position and then flies in 196.85' diameter circles. If the connection is not restored after 5 minutes, the Parrot Disco FPV performs a circular landing.

45 Minute Rechargeable Battery: The Parrot Disco FPV's high-capacity, rechargeable LiPo battery (2700mAh) guarantees up to 45 minutes of flight time. The included AC battery charge will recharge the battery in about 55 minutes.
