A drone is used for the purpose of attacking or conducting the survey of an area, usually hostile enemy territory, from the air. This is the toy version of such aerial vehicles. But it does break new ground when you think about the amount of technical inputs that have been put in to it. This quad copter has rotors around its main body. This drone makes use of MEMS i.e. Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, gyrometers, axes accelerometer, vertical camera, a second camera located underneath & ultrasound sensor. Furthermore, this drone generates its own WiFi network connection for communicating with the remote control tool.

A combination of all the mentioned devices & technologies gives this drone the ability to perform lots of of the things a actual drone can undertake thereby bestowing on it an  genuine dimension. The rotors permit the Parrot AR Drone a great deal of speed. The rotors also emit a hard sounding yet pleasant type of sound that is the characteristic of actual drones. The gyrometers & accelerometer give this quad copter wonderful stability & therefore maneuverability. One time the copter takes off it is simple even for beginner pilots to operate it. The stability factor is also the reason why this drone can be operated in outdoor environments as well where wind speed & sudden gusts of wind have the ability to disturb flights. But don't use this for any actual or playful spying its sound bytes are loud for such sneaking.

Probably the best part of this remote control toy is that it generates its own WiFi network. This eliminates the requirement of a separate net connection or a router as also of a separate remote control. The drone can be effectively operated with an iPhone, iPad or iPod. In case you are a beginner you need to hold the left onscreen button of the drone & the accelerometer of the iPhone to maneuver the craft. The movements of the drone mirror the movements of the accelerometer. Thus when you move the accelerometer to the right, the drone moves right; when you move it to the left the drone moves left & so on. The right screen onscreen button allows the user to change the altitude of the craft & also to rotate it. But don't go for the 90 degree turns & sudden rotations yet - put some experience under your belt first. In the advanced version a single onscreen virtual joystick is can be used to control the drone. At present only Apple devices are supported. Parrot is working on an Android version.
