Frequently Asked questions about drone shows

We closely follow Federal Aviation Administration zoning guidelines and regulations. Each drone is required to be five feet apart prior to takeoff. For example, a show with 50 drones would need at least 1,250 square feet. In addition, audiences must maintain a "safety zone" spaced away from the drones in accordance with the maximum altitude flown by every drone. 

We are glad to work with your vision and designs in mind. Design and shows can vary greatly, ranging from an intimate 20 drone show for private events like bridal parties or birthdays, all the way up to greater than 100 drones for more detailed and impressive shows for larger parties. We aim to own over 3000 drones in the near future. We proudly offer a free quote and estimate on how many drones would suit you. 

Depending on weather conditions and altitude, our drones fly up to 20 minutes.

Lead time of drone shows can vary. Location of event, permits and permissions, and complexity of show design play a role in executing a drone light show to perfection. For smaller and simple shows, turnaround times can be as little as 7 days from initial inquiry. The more time allowed to prepare for a drone show, the better we can accommodate your vision for your drone show.
