Hyundai’s luxury vehicle brand Genesis used 3,281 drones to create its logo across Shanghai’s skyline on March 29 to celebrate the brand’s arrival in China. The number of drones sets a new Guinness World Record for “The most unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the air simultaneously”, according to a press release from Genesis.
You can see a picture of the Genesis logo formation at the top of this post. Genesis also made a video showing some extra drone formations, including a hand, two of the company’s cars and … a double helix?
The record of Genesis is better than the previous one that had Shenzhen Damoda Intelligent Control Technology, which used 3051 drones in an exhibition on September 20. Here’s a video of the show that I think’s even more impressive than Genesis’:
Intel also held the record at one point and used 1,218 Shooting Star drones to create the Olympic rings over Pyeongchang for the 2018 Winter Games.
