Drones have many uses, but let's not talk about war right now. For aerial entertainment, they are much safer than fireworks, and can light up the sky with intricate 3-dimensional images that are just breathtaking. It all depends on how many drones you have and how well they are programmed to work together. The biggest show yet happened in Hefei, Anhui, China, on February 3rd, 2026. The Chinese company Guangdong EHang Egret Media Technology Co., Ltd. launched 22,580 and set a new world record for the "most multirotor/drones airborne simultaneously from a single computer (outdoors)." Since they qualified that, you have to wonder how many more were ever launched inside a structure. That number beat the previous record by 7,000 drones!
Still, there were twenty drones that failed to launch, possibly because they didn't have enough chargers.
Oh yeah, and unlike fireworks, these drones can be used again. -via Geeks Are Sexy
