The Parrot AR Drone comes with a brushed or brushless engine that provides a maximum speed of 11 miles per hour & basically travels 9 to ten feet above the ground. The brushless engines provide more power than the brushed versions & therefore cost more. However, buyers tend to favor the brushless models. The Parrot AR Drone is a true light weight at around ¾ of a pound with dimensions of about 20x20 inches.

If you are looking for the most recent know-how in Wi-Fi helicopter model flying make sure you check out the Augmented Reality (AR) Drone by Parrot. The drone comes with a manual on board to demonstrate how simple it is to control this four rotor helicopter. The manufacturer Parrot, has bridged the gap between virtual & physical worlds, making use of wireless peripherals for smart mobile rings which in turn make use of iPhone & iPad touch-screen technologies. This amazing quadricopter creates its own Wi-Fi network which connects to an iPhone or iPad. Interestingly this quadricopter has cameras on board allowing you to virtually sit in the pilot chair. camera is located beneath the quadricopter & is used to calculate the drone speed & also allows for hovering capability. The AR Drone combines military programing with gambling programs allowing for Smart Piloting (PSP) to adjust for wind & other environmental changes. The second camera is situated up front & views the drone's surround & sends this information back to the iPhone or iPad touch-screen. You see exactly what the drone sees providing for a birds eye view as in case you were sitting inside the quadricopter yourself. This is what AR gambling is all about!

The AR Drone steps it up even more by incorporating augmented reality (AR) games. What this means is that a battle-like scene appears on your touch screen where you can interact with an artificial intelligence challenger or perhaps a mate of yours who also has a Parrot Drone. At this time Parrot has three programs for the video games Robot, Drone War & Duel. You be able to create strong hand/eye coordination while dogfighting, projecting missiles & escaping assaults while developing mental strategies to defeat your opponent whether artificial or human. Interestingly, the camera in front constantly monitors for other AR Drones with a magnetic top beacon. Your drone can detect the enemy! You can also place dimensional tags in the environment & your drone can see them as enemies allowing for you to generate virtually limitless game playing strategies.
The AR Drone can be flown inside or outside. Needless to say, there's plenty of more obstacles inside & hence greater the possiblity of damaging your drone. Not to worry. Parrot has thought of everything. They have made this drone out of carbon fiber tubes & PA66 plastic which means they are rough & hard & can handle anything you dish out. In the event of a collision, all four rotors lock on impact defending rotors & engine. For those of you who have flown the elderly RC planes, keep in mind what happens when your plane is out of range? They kept going out of range & probably got lost for all of time. Guess what? Parrot thought of that & has an auto-pilot on board. So if your drone gets out of range the auto-pilot kicks in & safely lands. If for any reason you let go of the iPhone or iPad screen, the drone also goes in to auto-pilot & hovers in position. Sweet!
