The Parrot Disco is a foam body drone with a plastic frame that can fly up to 50 mph and weighs about 700 grams, which means you’ll have to register it with the FAA to fly it in America. The Verge’s Frank Bi takes his first hands-on look.

If it will be under 1K it will be a hit!
What i want to know is how they get such good range when my quadcopter only goes 250 ft before the FPV goes fuzzy
they should make a mixed design of a different form of fixed wing with quadrocopter so it can both fly really far and fast but also stay put in one place
the battery sucks
$300 ill buy it
So how fast does this thing go!?! I didn’t catch that.
The explanation was vague
Woah it’s way bigger than it looked
That’s cool. Too bad Parrot has shitty customer service.
This was cool when I saw it in BlackSheep’s home made version back in 2009 or so. They had FPV goggles instead, and it went a lot farther and into the swiss mountain tops, a must see. A lot better rotating camera also, unlike this fixed fisheye cam!. Pssshh
SCREW PARROT! Where the hell is the RNB6! you parroty douchebags!
yrs battery is great design still sucks they have a lot of catching up to do
Oh, and did he mention that it can fly 50 miles an hour?
By the way, it can go up to 50 mph with a 2k range
Love the idea but why are they always made out of foam. It’s like they want it to break…
I’m going to buy this, and fly it without a license because #yolo 😜
How does it land ??
God I hate this guy, every year he just does an awful job covering the things at ces and other tech related conventions.
Ultrasonic sensors are not new to Parrot’s drones or even to many other drones
He didn’t mention anything about the camera so I suppose that this isn’t really in the same nisch with the inspire and phantom
Did he mention the range?
How do u land it?
Stephen Hawking? Is that you?
50 mph with a 2 km range.… why not in parsecs? adopt the metric system ffs, you are supposed to be geeks! Or stay with the old one but stick to it
stupid question: how does it go up and down and turn left or right if it only has a propeller at the back??
Looks like Parrot got some inspiration from SenseFly’s eBee when creating this.

It’s funny how this is called a “Disco Drone” instead of what it actually is, a smart glider.
The fisheye killed it for me.

Yeah is it really 45min flight time like my crapy Bebop which had a 5 min flight time and laggy crappy live video feed
parrot junk
Hey parrot will you finally allow owners of the skycontroller to change from mode 2 to mode 1 ???
I bet the range it more like 600 meters like my Bebop was
parrot junk
Flying a fixed wing is totally different from a multi. I see this as the next wave of high tech flyers but will be costly to a pilot who has never flown a fixed wing weighing several pounds. Awesome plane tho.
Would be the best birthday present ever totally want one !
Expected to see it fly
I love the concept, but if you really want good shots it will be difficult. With a quadcopter you can stop and get your camera pointed at what you want. With this, you’ll be going fast at all times and it might be difficult to get good shots.
Coolest drone ever
The front looks exactly like the parrot bebop 2, fisheye baby.
This is awesome😀
what price?
how about working on user connectivity and battery life on their other products
I do not want to presume, but, does it have RTH?
well,whats wrong with Parrot???Its bad enough to call quadcopters a dorne,but now model airplanes are a drone too?Whats wrong with the public???!!!
