One of the key features of this Parrot Disco is the automatic take-off. It allows an amateur to be able to handle it easily. Another feature is the HOME feature that allows automatic landing.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"60708\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/05\/parrot-fixed-wing-disco-ces-2016\/parrot-disco\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/parrot-disco.jpg?fit=600%2C335&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,335\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"parrot-disco\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/parrot-disco.jpg?fit=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/parrot-disco.jpg?fit=600%2C335&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60708\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/parrot-disco.jpg?resize=600%2C335\" alt=\"parrot-disco\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/parrot-disco.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/parrot-disco.jpg?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The Parrot Disco is also compatible with Sky Controller to extend the range of the flight. With a battery life of 45 minutes and a top speed of 80km\/hr, I am sure it will impress many. There is no mention of price or availability. In the meanwhile, enjoy this video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/imtqooJj0I4\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although it is a fixed wing, it does not look like any aircraft. It looks more like the B2 stealth bomber. BTW, it has a 8-inch propeller and many onboard sensors &#8211; <span style=\"color: #444444;\">accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer,\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #fa4b2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pitot_tube\" target=\"_blank\">Pitot<\/a><span style=\"color: #444444;\">, GPS<\/span>.
