Shenzhen organized a show with more than 10,000 drones. It was so amazing that it broke two Guinness records.

Drone shows are becoming an increasingly promising option compared to traditional fireworks. We owe much of this trend to China, not only because its companies They are at the forefront of this sectorbut also because some of the most surprising events on the planet are organized there. On September 26, Shenzhen deployed more than 10,000 aerial vehicles drones that animated the night sky with different shapes and colors.

CCTV indicates that the activity began last Thursday around 8:30 p.m. 10,197 drones flew in front of the city’s Northeast Bay. A video shared by public television in the Asian country shows in detail what happened. Residents and tourists photographed the representation of the Dapeng bird spreading its wings and a flying vehicle with a screen on the sides. Now, carrying out a show of this type is not an easy task, as it requires very precise coordination.

An event that broke two Guinness records

The Government of Shenzhen It didn’t take long to announce that the show held last week called “City in the sky, great possibility” has resulted in two milestones, specifically, in two Guinness records. On the one hand, they won recognition for “the largest number of drones controlled by a single computer to take off at the same time.” On the other hand, “the largest number of aerial patterns composed of drones.” In 2018, Shanghai also set a record world with drones.

No technical details of the event have been released, so we do not know what model of drones was used, although it would not be strange if DJI vehicles had been used. This brand, in fact, is one of China’s great pride. Its reputation, technology and price have allowed it control 90% of the global consumer drone market. Some models are also often used in visual shows like the one we can see in the video linked in the previous paragraphs.

It should be noted that this is not the only visual spectacle that will take place these days in the land of the dragon. The drones will fly in a coordinated manner in other parts of the country before and after the main celebration for the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China from October 1st. The subsequent activities are known as the “Golden Week” for additional rest days which are added to the original holiday where a massive event takes place with a great military parade.
