  • Parrot has managed to combine many good things with the AR.Drone. With the AR.Drone you get the thrill of flying an RC-heli, without the long and expensive learning period. The fact that you can combine video games with RC-piloting just adds to the fun...

  • Although Parrot’s augmented reality dogfight ideas certainly have merit, they’re not the winning feature of the AR.Drone. The units themselves are simply too expensive – and thus rare – to make it likely you’ll come across another owner, which means y...

  • Abstract:  We’ve seen the AR.Drone floating around multiple events this year including CES but we never really got a chance to play with it until this week. Before I get into my review, I’m going to tell you a story. People ask me all the time “What’s the coolest...

  • After becoming comfortable with the AR.Drone's controls and weathering some crashes, the helicopter is a fun toy to fly. Fractures in the indoor hull were frequent during the learning period, but the rest of the toy was quite durable. The success of t...

  • Ultimately, we had only two major concerns with the AR.Drone. The first is the fragility of the indoor hull styrofoam construction. While it held up fine under our testing over a several-day period, this is something that users are going to have to be cau...

  • Abstract:  Some say it's a dream as old as humanity: The desire to fly. As technology advanced, that vision arrived within our grasp. Still, it remains prohibitively expensive for most to pursue as a recreational pastime. Similarly, while remote-controlled aircra...

  • Abstract:  I must admit that when we first heard about the Parrot AR. Drone late last year, it was fair to say that everyone in the office was impressed. And over the 2010 Christmas break, we all had a chance to fly this quadricopter via our iPhone, iPod Touch an...

  • It's a flying quadricopter controlled via an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, straightforward setup, easy to control for stable flight indoors
  • Almost impossible to control with any accuracy outdoors with even slight wind, 12 minute battery life, expensive price, questionable build quality considering it does fly, and therefore crash from time to time
  • The Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter is a toy packed with technology that is surprisingly stable and intuitive to fly. Yes, the Parrot AR.Drone is expensive, has mediocre battery life and becomes an out of control missile if used with any sort of wind. It als...
