Frequently Asked Questions

THE drone shows are a disruptive technology ahead of its time. Our rates start at 16,000 euros for a show performed several times in the same venue. Find details online price for a drone show.

We offer pre-designed scenographies each season.

We recommend allowing 2 months to properly plan each milestone.

Please note that the processing time for the authorization request for the prefecture is 45 days for a public show and 30 days for a private show.

Our pre-filled files allow us to ensure that the prefectures provide their response quickly.

Together we will work to find a new date that works best for you.

Yes, all the shows we design are based on a theme.

Then we look for images and inspirations that we can adapt into shows. 

If you have an idea, our creative team would love to hear about your project.

The only limit is your imagination.

More concretely, our technical limit is 65,534 drones.

Allumee produces shows exclusively outdoors.

Our drones position themselves in space using signals sent by GNSS satellite constellations (GPS, GALILEO, BAIDU).

The constraints are similar to fireworks, we are limited to strong winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Yes, we can operate over water. This requires additional precautions but will greatly simplify the implementation of a ballet in a dense urban area.

Our drones have 25 minutes of effective flight time. 

However, for safety reasons in case of very low temperatures or very strong winds, we design shows of 20 minutes maximum.

However, we can plan two fleets of drones that take turns every 20 minutes to create a perpetual spectacle.

This will strongly depend on the surface area displayed in the sky and the density of drones.

A drone is visible up to 5 kilometers away, but on its own it will be difficult to see among other light sources. 

On the other hand, 200 drones in dense formation can easily exceed these 5 kilometers.

This is exactly the question that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation asked us, and we wrote a 200-page dossier to explain it. 

They liked the answer! And we are allowed to fly anywhere in Europe.

In summary: Lots of security and simple, easily applicable procedures.

For the public the risk is extremely low, we have: 

• Software security
• Hardware security
• Observers
• In the worst case, the drone will fall into the exclusion zone, where the public is not.

We prefer to leave this area to specialist companies because it goes against our values, these shows generate a lot of nuisance (pollution, noise, fire).

Technically, with two fleets taking turns, we can put on a continuous show.

With just one fleet, it will take us 30 minutes to change the batteries and calibrate the drones.

We take care of this part to make sure nothing is missing on the big day.

Yes, our drones are reusable. They are designed to fly for thousands of hours; we consider them a sustainable resource.

We know that emotions are conveyed through sound. At Allumee, we are committed to providing a sound and lighting system that will delight spectators.  

In order to respond to your request as precisely and quickly as possible, we need the following information:

• The desired duration of the show.
• The number of drones you require. Please refer to the "Our Shows" page to see what we can do.
• The possible flight zone(s). A Google Map link would be ideal.
• The date of the performance.
• The type of performance desired: catalog show or personalized show.
