Sky Elements Sets Guinness World Record with 5,000-Drone Gingerbread Village Holiday Show
- Sky Elements has achieved a new Guinness World Record title for the largest aerial display of a gingerbread village made out of drones. The festive display was part of a combined Thanksgiving/Christmas drone show. The display encompassed a total of 4,981 drones, exceeding the minimum number of 1,000 UAVs required for the record.
- Coppell, Texas-based Sky Elements collaborated with UVify, to produce an aerial display using drones that would “delight viewers and push the boundaries of what’s possible with drone technology.
- The Mansfield show marked the company’s 11th world record performance. Unlike most of the company’s drone shows, the size and complexity of the show did not provide a designated area for public viewing.
- Sky Elements began posting still images and videos of the performance on social media, which have received incredible interest. The company has a full calendar of holiday drone shows, featuring events across the country.
- To stage such a large show, the Sky Elements graphics team began work several weeks in advance of the show on the challenging job of designing the complex patterns that would create the high-resolution images in the sky. Each drone had to have its batteries charged and checked before the show.
- The stars of the show at Mansfield were UVify’s high-performance IFO choreography swarm drones. Performing together, the UAVs flew the intricate flight patterns necessary to create a high-resolution drone show.
