WHICH DRONES FOR A DRONE SHOW?
Drone shows are becoming increasingly popular, offering bright and choreographed performances that dazzle spectators. But what types of drones do we use to create shows?
In this article, we introduce you to the different types of drones we use, their features, and why they are essential to our shows.
Quadcopters: The stars of our shows
Quadcopters are the most commonly used drones in our shows. Comprised of four rotors, these drones are renowned for their stability and reliability. Their design allows for excellent maneuverability, which is crucial for complex aerial choreography. Here's why quadcopters are so popular in our shows:
- Stability : Thanks to their four rotors, quadcopters offer superior stability, essential for precise and synchronized flights.
- Cost : They are cheaper to produce and maintain compared to other types of drones, which makes it possible to integrate a large number of drones into our shows without blowing the budget.
- Noise level : Quadcopters are also quieter, helping to maintain a pleasant sound environment for spectators.
- Versatility : Their ability to achieve smooth and precise movements makes them ideal for light shows where synchronization is key.
Octocopters: For heavier performance
Octocopters are eight-rotor drones, primarily used for tasks requiring heavier payloads, and are therefore noisier. These larger aircraft can carry pyrotechnics or lasers, exceptional features that Allumee is currently developing. As such, they offer unique advantages:
- Load capacity : With their eight rotors, octocopters can carry heavier loads, such as additional camera equipment or larger, more complex lighting devices.
- Enhanced stability : The presence of eight rotors provides redundancy that can be useful in the event of failure of one of the rotors, ensuring continued stability.
- Specific use : Their use is often reserved for shows where heavier special effects or complex installations are required.
Each type of drone plays a vital role in creating our drone shows. Thus, the quadcopters dominate the scene thanks to their stability, cost and low noise level, delivering a smooth and harmonious performance.
However, the octocopters, with their ability to carry heavier loads, add an extra dimension to our shows with impressive special effects.
