Methods and apparatus to create and perform drone displays are disclosed. An example drone display may include a first set of drones having a first drone type, and a second set of drones having a second drone type. A flight controller at each drone may provide commands to drone hardware through an abstraction layer, where the commands from the flight controller are common across different drone types and the abstraction layer translates the commands to drone-specific signals based on a configured drone type. A central management system may provide flight paths to the different sets of drones in a common format across different drone types, and may control multiple different types of drones using the common format.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for distributing a plurality of drones to form an aerial image. The systems and methods may include: receiving, at a computing device comprising a processor, location data and drone data; distributing, by the computing device, a plurality of drones based on the aspects of an aerial image such that, during flight, the plurality of drones form the aerial image; and exporting, by the computing device, coordinates for each of the plurality of drones. The location data may define aspects of the aerial image to be formed by the plurality of drones. The drone data may include a number of drones within the plurality of drones. The coordinate for each of the plurality of drones may define a location for a respective drone within the aerial image.
Methods and devices are presented for controlling or reducing amount of downwash generated by a drone. A drone including a plurality of arms including rotors may be configured to operate and fly with arms in an elevated position with respect to a horizontal plane. The elevated arms may allow a drone to fly with reduced vertical downwash.
A method for providing an air display comprising a multiplicity of unmanned aircraft comprising: automatic loading of mission data of a plurality of unmanned aircraft into the data store of an unmanned aircraft via the ground station by means of the first data connection, querying and storing identifiers, GPS data, and the system status from a plurality of the multiplicity of unmanned aircraft by the control unit by means of the first or second data connection, calculating the flight paths for the plurality of unmanned aircraft based on the GPS data and the first target positions of the respective unmanned aircraft by means of the control unit in real time, assigning flight path numbers to a plurality of the unmanned aircraft by the control unit by means of the first or second data connection, and independent and synchronized performance of the entire mission by the unmanned aircraft after the launch.
A ground station device for a plurality of unmanned aircraft, comprising an upper face, which comprises a plurality of receptacles for positioning a plurality of unmanned aircraft, a data interface for connecting the ground station device to a control unit, and a power supply device for charging the unmanned aircraft. The ground station device is designed to be stackable so as to form a stack with at least one other ground station device.
Generating a morphing sequence for an aerial show may include: receiving, at a computing device comprising a processor, first frame data defining a first location for each of a plurality of drones in a first image of the aerial show; receiving, at the computing device, second frame data defining a second location for each of the plurality of drones in a second image of the aerial show; and generating the morphing sequence, the morphing sequence defining a flightpath for each of the plurality of drones to transition from the first location associated with the first image to the second location associated with the second image.
