Intel has beaten its own record with a show featuring 2,018 Intel Shooting Star drones to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The LED equipped drones lit up the sky above the technology company’s Folsom, California facility.
Inspection and monitoring. Aerial video broadcasts. Deliveries. Reconnaissance. The applications for drones
are vast, but none as entertaining as the Intel shows we’ve seen
from the
Winter Olympics in Korea, to the first time the technology
giant
hit 500 aerial drones.
The latest show has smashed the Guinness
World Record for the most unmanned aerial vehicles airborne simultaneously… all controlled
by one pilot.
“Several years ago, we had an idea of flying drones
forming the Intel logo over our corporate headquarters, and here we are doing
just that. It really speaks to the innovative spirit that Intel was
founded on 50 years ago,” explained Anil Nanduri, vice president and general manager, Intel Drone Group.
