A small aircraft.
A coordinated system.
Explore four parts of the reference system. The figures below are reference specifications, not promises about a particular event.
Technology reference image01 / Light
Colour carries
the idea.
The reference specification describes RGBW lighting, multi-colour strobe effects and an upgraded filling algorithm with real-time compensation.

Coordinates behind
the choreography.
The reference positioning system uses upgraded RTK with GPS, GLONASS and BDS support.

Reference figures under normal RTK operation. These are not a guarantee of event-specific positioning or artwork fidelity.
Technology reference image · Not a Cayman venue03 / Docking
From flight
back to the dock.
The reference system’s built-in batteries charge after landing. The reference material also lists remote batch power-on and a 24-aircraft docking case.

40–60 minListed re-flight interval
The charging interval is separate from airborne show time. The listed show duration is within 15 minutes.
Technology reference image04 / Protection
Protective functions.
Operator judgement.
The reference material lists an automatic parachute, a one-command termination function and multi-layer communications redundancy.

Protective features do not remove operational risk. Exact equipment, setup and use conditions require operator confirmation.
02 / Behind the scenes
We see the show.
Software coordinates it.
02 / Coordination
Bring the aircraft together.
Remote batch power-on and automated flight are listed reference functions.
03 / Dock operations
Recharge between flights.
Landing and automatic charging form part of the published operating cycle.
03 / The detail
The reference system, in numbers.
22 reference specifications, grouped for a clearer view of the system. Conditions stay with the figures they qualify.
