At the 2026 Spring Festival Gala in Hefei, 22,580 drones were simultaneously controlled by a single computer, setting a new Guinness World Record for "Most Drones Simultaneously Controlled by a Single Computer."
The sky above Luogang Park was transformed into a giant living screen. A record number of drones were used as part of a rehearsal for the Chinese New Year celebrations, which begin on February 17.
Controlled by a single computer, the drones combined in perfect synchronicity to create visual elements inspired by Huangmei opera, Chinese ink painting, and local architecture, highlighting the fusion of advanced technology with regional cultural traditions.
