Shooting Star (drone)

The Shooting Star is a quadcopter drone designed for light shows by Intel.

It is constructed of polystyrene and lightweight plastics; and it has built-in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for display purposes.

[1] Large numbers of Shooting Star drones can be controlled by a single computer and operator that can create more than four billion color combinations from the built-in LEDs, with the system's algorithms controlling the choreography and optimizing the flight paths.

[2] In November 2016, 500 of the drones were used in a light show to set the new Guinness World Record for the "Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously".

[3][4][5][6][7] The drones were used for the Super Bowl LI halftime show performance by Lady Gaga in 2017, in which 300 Shooting Stars formed an American flag in the sky.
