UVify, a San Francisco-based company, has made history by setting a new world record for the most drones used in an aerial display, as confirmed by Guinness World Records. The extraordinary event took place in Songdo, South Korea, just west of Seoul, where 5,293 LED-lit IFO drones flew in synchronization, creating a breathtaking display of light and movement that illuminated the night sky. The drones, which can stay airborne for up to 25 minutes on a single charge, used LED lights capable of transmitting over 16 million colors to form words, shapes, symbols, and even animations as part of the show.
The display team had to obtain special permission from air traffic control and local authorities to ensure safety and compliance with relevant regulations, as the event took place about 10 miles from Incheon International Airport. The complexity of the display was made possible thanks to bespoke software that carefully controlled the movements of the drones, allowing them to create intricate patterns and designs.
UVify’s IFO drone is a high-performance choreography swarm drone designed to bring the beauty of drone light shows to the world at an unprecedented scale. According to UVify, their drone can be programmed to perform various patterns and formations, making it an ideal tool for events and displays.
