World Record Fourth of July Drone Show


 

Sky Elements Drone Shows set a new world record with a Fourth of July show last week. They launched more than 1,000 computer-synched drones carrying LED lights to amaze the crowd with a sequence of patriotic American iconography. So what world record did they set? It was not for the highest number of drones, nor for length of the show, but for the “largest aerial sentence formed by multirotor/drones.” That's a fairly niche record, and it may seem anticlimactic, but it gives us an excuse to watch an impressive drone show a week after the holiday.

When I stop and think about how this was a fantasy, science fiction, very few years ago it's astounding what they can do now. Probably next year this show will be ho hum ordinary.

Now with that much control they can build bigger drones... with bombs.
