Flight Control, Sensors & Technology
The AR.Drone 2.0 pressure sensors provide stability in the air
Pressure sensors will automatically correct and maintain a still position regardless of altitude and wind up to 15 mph
Pressure sensor brings stability up to an unlimited altitude (±10 Pa)
The AR.Drone 2.0 uses an algorithm to interpret measurement when hovering over different terrain and conditions
The AR.Drone 2.0 autopilot feature uses embedded sensors to ensure easy take-off and landing
3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer
Ultrasound sensors provide ground altitude measurement up to 19.7' (6 m) above the ground
Built-in 3D compass and dynamic wind estimation sensor
A 3-axis gyroscope affords more dynamic piloting maneuvers (2000°/sec precision)
Onboard 32-bit ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor with 800 MHz video DSP
Joypad Mode (ON) allows control via your mobile device's touchscreen joystick
Joypad Mode (OFF) allows control through physically tilting your mobile device
