The closing ceremony of the 29th edition of the Dubai World Cup has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest flying LED screen formed by multirotor drones using 5,983 drones.
The show, witnessed by over 60,000 spectators and held at the Meydan Racecourse, lasted around 20 minutes and featured cutting-edge drone technology, lasers, lights, and a fireworks display.
The drones illuminated the sky with 3D formations, including portraits of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and the Ruler of Dubai, along with animated scenes of horses and the championship trophy.
Guinness World Records said: “Dubai Racing Club broke their own record attempted previously, with a total of 5,983 they have created the largest screen made of drones, with the ability to present videos and images, similar to a commercially available screen, this showcases the innovation and technology of drones.”
The world’s largest LED screen was created by 4,000 drones at the closing ceremony of the Dubai World Cup last year.
