How a show comes together

Engineered weeks before it is beautiful

  1. 01

    We discover the sky together

    Long before show night, we get to know your venue, your audience and your vision. We visit the site, understand the environment and map the airspace, working with you to uncover what is possible.

  2. 02

    You become part of the creative process

    Every show is created from scratch in our own software. We bring the ideas to life, share simulations with you and work together to refine the moments that will create the biggest impact.

  3. 03

    We bring it to life, together

    Once the show is taking shape, we rehearse on site over multiple days. You get to see the choreography evolve from an idea on screen into a live experience, with our team refining every detail along the way.

  4. 04

    Your show, backed by our team

    On show night, you have an experienced team behind you. With a pilot in command and a dedicated safety pilot on every flight, we manage the operation from launch to landing, so you can focus on experiencing the moment with your audience.

Community Sky Art · Feilding · July 2026

A child's drawing, flown at full scale

We closed a town's winter festival with its first ever drone light show, flying artwork designed by local school children.

A colouring sheet from the Sky Art competition, a grid of small circles with about fifty filled in blue to draw two mountains.The same mountains flown at night by fifty drones over Manfeild, each drone a point of light.

Feilding in Lights, July 2026

The whole town looked up

For Feilding's first ever drone light show, we wanted the sky to belong to the community. Thousands of people filled the stands and gathered around Manfeild for the finale of Feilding in Lights, but the real stars of the show were the local kids whose ideas took flight above them.

From imagination to the night sky

We invited local school children to create their own Sky Art using a simple grid of dots, with each dot representing one of the drones in our fleet.

From hundreds of ideas submitted by the community, the most imaginative were curated, ideated and transformed into spectacular sky formations, then synchronised and flown above the crowd.

For the kids who created them, it wasn't just something they watched. It was their idea. Their community. Their moment in the sky.

And for everyone in the crowd, there was something pretty special about looking up and knowing that the spectacle above them had been inspired by the imagination of local children.

A show the community helped create

This is what we love about drone shows. They don't have to be something that simply happens to a community. They can be something a community helps create.

From schools and local artists to families, businesses, event organisers and thousands of people in the stands, everyone can have a part in the story. Feilding gave us our first opportunity to bring that idea to life.

One town. Thousands of people. Fifty drones. And a sky full of local imagination.

Your community could be next

Imagine your local schools creating the ideas. Your community helping shape the story. Your town coming together to see it take flight.

Let's create something your community can look up and say, “That's ours.”

How we got here

From a crazy idea to a new way to light the sky

2021The idea

What if the sky became the screen?

Research, and finding the right engineers

We saw the opportunity to create spectacular large scale experiences without fireworks, cranes or permanent infrastructure. So we started with a simple idea: build a better way to put stories in the sky.

2022We started building

Aircraft. Software. Systems.

Designed, built and tested in New Zealand

We stopped looking at drone shows as a collection of drones and started building the technology behind the experience. Our own aircraft. Our own software. Our own flight systems. The foundations of the platform were taking shape.

2023First flights

From the lab to the sky

~30 shows
Christchurch Innovation Expo

Our first major public flights took place at the Christchurch Innovation Expo. The prototype became a working system. Every flight taught us something new. Every show made the system better.

2024The system comes together

One system. End to end.

Aircraft, software, choreography, operations, safety

We brought the entire operation together into one integrated system designed to take an idea from concept to sky. Not just a drone show. A complete operating system for the sky.

2025We went all in

The raise

20,000+ engineering hours
Investment to accelerate the platform

Investment gave us the ability to accelerate what we had been building and turn years of development into a serious commercial platform. Aircraft refined. Software accelerated. Flight systems hardened. Safety systems strengthened. The ambition got bigger.

2026We launched

The sky became our stage

3 shows · 50 drones
Feilding in Lights Grand Finale · Manfeild

We launched publicly with the Feilding in Lights Grand Finale. Three shows. 50 drones. One very clear message: this is only the beginning. We had moved from prototype to production, from flying ideas to delivering experiences at scale.

2027Droneshows Systems

The system goes everywhere

Our system. Their sky.

The next chapter isn't just about us flying more shows. It's about putting the technology, aircraft and operating systems into the hands of other professional operators. A platform built to power the next generation of drone shows around the world.
