In another month it will be the 4th of July and lots of people will be buying and setting off fireworks. As the decades roll on by, I find that I'm not as enthused as I used to be to see, or especially to hear, fireworks. It's rare to see something I haven't seen many times over and wow, I'm now understanding why the loud booms bother animals so much. To combat visual burn out and auditory sensitivity, as well as pollution, it might be nice if places could use dynamic, imaginative fireworks created by drones. The pictures here are examples of some drone handiwork.
Unfortunately, it is still rare for drone fireworks to be used. The major reason is the cost. Traditional displays cost between ten and twenty thousand but drone fireworks average around a hundred thousand. In larger cities and places that can swing the cost, the spectacle, safety, environmental friendliness and minimal noise to bother animals and elderly might be worth it.
