A swarm of drones dance across the night sky as an orchestra plays Beethoven's dramatic "Fifth Symphony."

It may sound like the heavily-CGI'd intro of a sci-fi movie, but Intel Corp. actually pulled off the spectacular stunt at the Ahrenlohe airfield in Tornesch, Germany last November.

The tech company's ground crew controlled the drones using PCs running Intel software, syncing their flight and light display to the music performed on the ground.

The feat earned a Guinness World Record for the "Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously."

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed the footage for the first time during his keynote speech at the CES technology show in Las Vegas last Wednesday. It was posted to YouTube on Friday, and is now going viral.

Published on Jan 8, 2016


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. Read the full story: http://bit.ly/GWR-Drone

Controlled on the ground by a crew using PCs with Intel software, the mass of drones lit up the night sky in sync to a live performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and executed a stunning light show resembling a fireworks display.

“Drone 100” took place at Flugplatz Ahrenlohe, Tornesch, Germany, in November 2015. The record was set in collaboration with Ars Electronica Futurelab to push the limits of the UAV industry and to show what UAVs can be used for.
