A drone. Drawing. - Jean P Mouffe

The city of Shanghai offered an exceptional spectacle to its inhabitants to celebrate the entry into the new decade of the 21st century. On New Year's Eve, it was not a traditional firework display but a drone show that was offered to spectators, reports the HuffPost . In fact, more than 2,000 drones took off and drew multiple light shapes in the air.

A computer synchronized choreography

Equipped with multicolored LEDs, the flying machines were at the edge of the Huangpu river, a hundred meters high. During this three-dimensional show, the drones thus sketched various shapes in the sky: planet Earth, a dragon, a starry sphere or a man in full flight.

All the drones were not individually guided but in a unified way by a computer which could thus program and synchronize their flying ballet. No incident has occurred. The show concluded with the traditional countdown in the Chinese city.
