Hello new world record, and hello to what is a truly astonishing display of technological skill.

We have Intel Corp. to thank for that above, 100 drones dancing across the sky in tune to Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony”. The YouTube video has now been viewed over 500 000 times and Guinness World Records had this to say:

A spectacular display of drone technology by Intel Corporation (USA) involving 100 small aircrafts being launched skywards in formation has earned a new world record title for the Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously.

Controlled on the ground by a crew using PCs with Intel software, the mass of drones lit up the night sky…

That they certainly did. Makes that time you filmed a flyover at your mate’s pool seem pretty average right?
