- China launched 33,615 drones simultaneously, rewriting record books.
- A floating air curtain spanned more than 148,000 square meters.
- Thousands of drones combined to create one massive animated canvas.
China has added another milestone to its fast-growing drone industry after a large-scale aerial display set three Guinness World Records during a public event in Sichuan province.
The performance attracted attention not only because of the number of drones involved, but also because of the huge visual display.
The record-setting event was organized by Yufengzhe Technology, which launched 33,615 drones simultaneously over an airport in Dujiangyan, a city located in Sichuan, China.
Look at
Three records achieved in a single performance
Guinness World Records officials attended the event and verified several achievements resulting from the coordinated flight operation.
The performance established a new record for the most drones flown simultaneously under group control during a single show.
It also secured the record for the largest number of drones forming an air pattern at the same time.
A third record came from the creation of what Guinness World Records recognized as the largest mid-air LED mesh screen ever assembled.
According to event organizers, the floating display covered about 148,561 square meters, creating a massive illuminated structure suspended above the airport.
Rather than acting as individual visual elements, the drones worked together to form a giant aerial canvas capable of displaying complex images and animations.
The feat demonstrated the scale that coordinated drone technology can now reach, with thousands of aircraft operating under centralized control.
Drone shows have become common in recent years as alternatives to traditional fireworks.
In a record-breaking event, more than 10,000 drones fly as one to create a huge display celebrating Vietnam’s history and development.
Similarly, 10,000 drones flocked to Texas to tell the story of Jesus and broke four world records to celebrate Easter.
Cultural themes filled the massive air show
The visual content shown during the performance focused heavily on Chinese cultural and regional themes associated with Sichuan and the surrounding area.
Giant pandas appeared among the aerial images, reflecting one of the region’s most recognized symbols.
Organizers also incorporated representations of the 28 traditional Chinese constellations along with images associated with Bashu culture and local history.
Additional scenes linked Dujiangyan’s long historical legacy with new low-altitude flight technologies currently gaining increasing attention throughout China.
The event demonstrated how drone fleets can be used for artistic and entertainment purposes on a scale previously only associated with large ground-based displays.
Even a beginner drone used for recreational flying operates on many of the same basic principles, although the complexity increases when thousands of aircraft must move simultaneously with precise timing.
The performance also reflects wider investment in drone technologies across multiple sectors, including logistics, mapping and public events.
Record-setting displays like this attract public attention, but they also serve as demonstrations of large-scale coordination skills that can have uses other than entertainment.
