Most remote controlled multirotors/drones airborne simultaneously

The most remote controlled multirotors/drones airborne simultaneously is 33,615 and was achieved by Yufengzhe Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Wind's Shore, Technology (Yibin) Co., Ltd. and Chengdu Century Chengmei Technology Co., Ltd. (all China) in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, on 20 May 2026

The organizers set a new benchmark for the low‑altitude economy, earning Guinness World Records™ title and redefining the scale of aerial innovation. For a decade, global drone formation technology has evolved from 1,000‑drone demonstrations to today’s 30,000‑class swarms, culminating in a new generation of cluster control systems. By deeply integrating propulsion algorithms, SLAM navigation algorithms and flight‑control systems, the team achieved distributed control of 33,615 drones in a single swarm.
