Intuitive piloting

The cockpit of the AR.Drone includes an inertial unit, ultrasound sensors and a vertical camera.
The combination of these elements which are controlled by an autopilot program allows extremely accurate piloting of the quadricopter. The AR.Drone detects the movements of your iPod Touch®/iPhone® (to go up, down, turn, reverse, go forwards etc.). Anyone can pilot the AR.Drone, it is extremely simple to use..

AUTOPILOT

The AR.Drone autopilot allows easy take-off and landing. After take-off, autopilot stabilizes the quadricopter at 50 centimeters (1.7 ft) high. When the pilot removes his fingers from the iPod Touch®/iPhone® screen, the autopilot puts the AR.Drone in hover mode. The autopilot will also take command when the Wi-Fi connection is lost. It stabilizes the AR.Drone before a soft landing. If you receive a call while flying the quadricopter, the autopilot stabilizes it and lands after few seconds.
