On show at CES this week, its Disco drone does away with the popular quadcopter design in favor of a speedy wing-shaped model that can simply be tossed in the air to take flight.Parrot had a big influence on the rise of quadcopter popularity with its iPhone-controlled AR Drone in 2010, and is now hoping its seemingly user-friendly Disco can bring it similar success. The aircraft bears some resemblance to eBee, an industrial UAV built for things like crop and wildlife monitoring by senseFly, a Swiss firm that happens to be owned by Parrot.Disco can fly for 45 minutes and can reach a rather zippy 80 km/h (50 mph), a speed matched by few consumer drones – 3DR's Solo drone, which can hit 89 km/h (55 mph)

It also features the same 14-megapixel camera with 3-axis stablization of Parrot's Bepop 2 quadcopter, and can stream vision back to a set of virtual reality glasses to offer immersive first person flying. Fitted with an eight-inch propellor and an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, pitot and GPS, Parrot claims the Disco is simple to fly and involves no learning curve. Throwing the drone into the sky sees it gain altitude automatically and it will then circle above until the pilot takes control. It features an auto-return home function, automatic landing and the wings are removable to make for easier transport. Disco is piloted by either a standard RC remote control or the Parrot Skycontroller, which works in tandem with a smartphone or tablet. This second option will also allow users to plot autonomous flight paths through the companion app. With its top speed and lengthy flight time the Disco boasts some impressive numbers, but to compare it to other consumer drones is a little like comparing apples and oranges.

Fixed-wing drones have certainly proven useful for monitoring crops or wildlife, applications where they're needed to fly more or less in straight lines for long periods of time, but we're yet to really see these capabilities translate to the consumer space.parrot ar drone faultsHere the agility and maneuverable cameras of the quadcopter design have reigned supreme. parrot ar drone spares south africaParrot does have form in breaking down such barriers, however, so it will be interesting to see if Disco can come to the party. parrot ar drone manual pdfThere's no real detail yet on pricing or availability, only that it will launch sometime in 2016. ar drone parrot fonctionnement

You can see Disco in flight in the video below.macdev drone dx paintballDrones have been around for a very long time, but it's safe to say that today's unmanned vehicles are a bit more sophisticated than the bomb-filled balloons the Austrians used to attack Venice in the mid-1800s.ar drone parrot portataThe technological advances that make today's military drones so terrifying can also be used for more peaceful projects - and as the tech gets better and the price plummets, drones could become an increasingly common sight in our skies as they do everything from filming to delivering products.You can join the drone revolution right now, and it'll cost less than you think. But if you go for a flying drone it's important to stay within the law.In the UK, drones over 20kg are illegal in almost all civilian airspaces and smaller drones can't fly within 150m of "large assemblies" or within 50m of people or buildings.

Drones must remain in view (streaming video doesn't count) and you must be licensed by the CAA if you'll be using the drone for commercial purchases.The reason for the rules are simple enough: a drone falling from a great height onto a person could do serious damage.Drone 2.0 is probably the best known of all the consumer drones, and the second iteration of this smartphone or tablet-controlled quadricopter is happy indoors or out. Twin batteries deliver an impressive 36 minutes of flying time, the built-in camera offers live HD video streaming and the 30m range is far enough to get some impressive aerial footage. There's an even more impressive Parrot drone on the way, the Bebop, but for now the AR.Drone 2.0 is Parrot's flagship drone.In addition to its aerial drones Parrot offers "minidrones" including the excellently named Jumping Sumo. It's a rolling robot that can travel up to 4.5mph and jump 80cm, and its wide-angle camera streams live video to your smartphone or tablet (Windows, iOS or Android).

Parrot's second minidrone is the Rolling Spider, a tiny quadricopter whose removable wheels mean it's a hoot on the ground as well as in the air. This one's best kept inside, as its diminutive dimensions mean it doesn't take much of a breeze to blow it away and the battery only delivers around six minutes of flying time, but it's a lot of fun while it lasts.Amazon UK is currently offering Hubsan's H107 for less than half of the RRP, and while most customers are happy with it, it does seem to have encountered a few quality control problems. The H107 is a cheap and cheerful way to explore the world of drones, but it's a good idea to hang on to the receipt just in case.The Quad Flyer from Gaui comes in two versions: a kit for intermediate users who supply their own radio, and a ready-to-fly version for beginners. It's good for 12 minutes of flight time or 20 minutes with an optional high-capacity battery and can carry a payload of up to 700g (1.5lb) including its battery. It works just like a remote control helicopter but with the wind resistance and maneuverability of a quadricopter.

At just 3cm high and 8.5cm across the Walkera Ladybird is hardly much bigger than its natural namesake, and the price tag isn't massive either. With a flight time of up to 10 minutes and a range of up to 100m it isn't as powerful as pro-level drones, but then it costs a fraction of what they do. It's fairly damage-proof, with flexible plastic rotors that should retain their shape even if they get bent or twisted. It's definitely one to consider if you're new to flying drones.Price: £168 (transmitter/controller not included)If the Ladybird is a little basic but you don't want to shell out really big money for a quadcopter, Walkera's Dragonfly is well worth a look. It boasts a GPS autopilot, up to 15 minutes flight time, self-stabilisation and an anti-vibration camera mount for the ubiquitous GoPro, although you'll need to buy the controller separately.DJI's drones are well liked by users, and the Phantom 2 Vision Plus offers an easy to setup with easy to fly all-in-one system for aerial photography and filming.

The drone connects wirelessly to the included Airleash box, which not only controls the device but acts as a beacon it can follow automatically - so for example you might get it to follow you as you plummet down the side of a mountain on a bike or snowboard. Although it is limited to 40mph it has a good for up to 20 minutes of flight time depending on how fast you fly it, and the Airleash has a range of up to 300m.Romo may look like a toy, but the friendly-faced iPhone-powered robot is also an excellent platform for modders, a fun telepresence robot and something that'll delight the kids as they make it roam around the house. There are two versions, one with a 30-pin connector (which can connect to the iPhone 4, 4S and iPod 4) and one with a Lightning connector (which connects to the iPhone 5, 5S and iPod 5).
