hey this is Frank big with the verge and today we're at CES 2016 looking at the parrot disco fixed-wing drone the parrot disco is a foam body drone with a plastic frame that could fly up to 50 miles per hour with a 2 kilometer range the parrot disco weighs about 700 grams which means that you'll have to register this with FAA if you're gonna fly this in America the camera is the same as the parrot bebop 2 a 14 megapixel fisheye lens it has a maximum range about 2 kilometres and it can travel up to 50 miles per hour the body is made up of EPP foam and it's built off a plastic frame the parts are replaceable both wings are detachable as well as a propeller one propeller in the back one cool feature about the parrot disco is you can just toss it in the air it'll take off it's gonna need about a hundred meters in order for it to climb to about 50 meters so you need a bit a runway in order to fly this once you launch the drone in the air can be controlled with the sky controller which was unveiled at CES last year the battery life will let you fly for about 45 minutes on one single battery charge another cool feature about this drone is ultrasound camera on the bottom of the drone that helps it land autonomously this is only a prototype model and they hope to make this available to consumers in 2016 so if our parrot has not announced a price for this drive
