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...
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...
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...

Two cameras. Makes its own Wi-Fi hotspot. Tough enough to handle crashes, makes crashing fun. Supports augmented reality gaming. It's an iPhone-controlled helicopter!!!
Battery only lasts for 15 minutes of flying between charges. Cameras can't record video. No games or Android support at press time.
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 ...
