The display has been called an “epic fail” by Chinese media.
A Chinese company has broken the Guinness World Record for the most drones flown simultaneously, despite them failing to coordinate for a light show.
EHang’s fleet of 1,374 drones was programmed to fly in set patterns, but failed to spell out the date and the record-setting number of drones.
The South China Morning Post called the event an “epic fail” .
EHang has not yet responded to the BBC’s request for comment.
The record was previously held by US technology company Intel, which flew 1,218 aircraft at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games in February.
