[Commentary] On the evening of August 25th, a drone performance of about 30 minutes was staged in Changchun Friendship Park, Jilin Province.
The swarm of 2,022 drones constantly changes texts and patterns in the air, with a strong sense of technology, making it a feast for the eyes of local citizens.
Li Xinfeng, 18, is one of the pilots of the drone show.
On this day, he rushed to the scene early to determine the placement of the drone, replace the drone battery, debug the equipment, test the signal... In order to ensure that the performance was foolproof, Li Xinfeng carried out careful inspections over and over again.
Most of the members of the drone team that Li Xinfeng is in are "post-90s" or "post-00s", and everyone is very interested in "Feitian Technology".
Li Xinfeng, who has been in contact with drones since 2020, introduced that he was only curious about drones at first, but only after he really joined the team did he realize that this is a career that can be explored in depth and contains infinite surprises.

I have had a dream of spaceflight since I was a child, and working on the drone business is another way to realize my ideal, because the drone work can be matched with various industries, just like the eyes in the sky, let me see the different The same world has also allowed me to learn more about the industry.
[Explanation] Jilin Province, located in the middle of the Northeast region, is rich in clean energy such as wind energy and solar energy.
Li Xinfeng told reporters that their main work now is to use drones for energy mapping and photovoltaic inspections.
In fact, the team had limited preparation time for the drone swarm formation performance held on the same day.
The most technically difficult part of the drone formation is the 3D dynamic performance. It is necessary to pose a 3D three-dimensional shape and make the drone move, which is a very test of the driver's operation and the tacit understanding of the team members.

Taking today's air show as an example, our flight wingspan is 300 meters, and the distance error between the aircraft and the aircraft cannot be greater than 1 cm.
This requires us to have a three-dimensional sense of space, which requires us to have more experience and more training.
[Explanation] In recent years, the drone industry has developed rapidly, and more and more young people have joined related industries.
UAVs have also been used in entertainment from the beginning, and now they are gradually radiating to serve all walks of life.
Li Xinfeng said that he and his partners are also constantly learning, trying to master more drone flying skills and giving full play to their own greater value.
