Imagine turning the night sky into a living light show — thousands of drones weaving patterns in perfect sync. That's exactly what Qin Haiqun's team has been doing, and they just bagged three new Guinness World Records for their epic drone formations.
After a decade of nonstop R&D starting in 2015, this crew cracked key tech puzzles: smarter swarming code (think digital choreography), longer-lasting batteries that keep your drones buzzing longer 🔋, and super-precise GPS positioning.
But what's the big deal? Welcome to the low-altitude economy — an emerging scene where drone fleets handle everything from event entertainment to on-demand deliveries, precision farming, infrastructure checks, and more. In South Asia, picture drones dropping meds to remote villages; in Southeast Asia, imagine aerial shows lighting up Loy Krathong festivals 🎆.
By stacking record-breaking formations — record for most drones aloft, densest light display, and longest coordinated flight — Qin's squad has shown China's cutting-edge chops and opened doors for new businesses in the sky.
Next up? We're talking collabs across the region, eco-friendly monitoring of forests, and drone taxis. The sky's no longer the limit; it's just the beginning. Stay tuned, because the future is drifting right above us! 🚀
