China's EFYI Factory Delivers Spectacular Drone Show: A Dragon’s Dance Around Tianjin Tower by Leading Suppliers
On September 16, 2023, the 2nd National Vocational Skills Competition of the People's Republic of China commenced in Tianjin. To celebrate this occasion, EFYI Intelligent Control collaborated with Tianjin Tower (a landmark skyscraper in northern China) to present a groundbreaking drone light show that evening. During the performance, a majestic Chinese dragon formed by 800 drones took flight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of "A Dragon’s Dance Around the Tower" as it gracefully weaved around the iconic Tianjin Tower.
This flight demonstration transcended conventional drone formations by overcoming significant technical challenges, with signal stability emerging as a critical hurdle. The technical complexity of circumnavigating the tower is immense.
"First, we had to mitigate signal interference caused by the tower structure itself through optimized on-side network configurations to ensure maximum communication reliability," explained Ma Zhicheng, Testing Director of EFYI. "Simultaneously, we addressed GPS interference from the tower by refining flight paths, angles, and positional parameters through iterative testing."
Beyond these measures, the team meticulously verified every operational detail - from network architecture optimization to adjusting the dragon's spiral posture, trajectory, entry points, flight speeds, proximity to the tower, and altitude parameters. Over two months of intensive preparation, EFYI's cross-functional teams demonstrated working tirelessly day and night, pursuing perfection through relentless innovation to conquer these technical barriers.
"Our priority was merging Tianjin Tower with Chinese cultural elements," said Zhang Haijiao, Creative Planning Manager. "We sought to showcase the aesthetic synergy between architecture and drone technology while leveraging the tower's prominence to amplify Chinese cultural narratives. After finalizing the dragon-circling concept, our team meticulously refined the dragon's biomimetic design, particle trajectory effects, and lighting transitions."
The seamless execution required meticulous pre-event planning. From initial tests with small groups of drones to the final 800-drone performance, each phase brought the team closer to mastering precision at scale.
"This one-take success reflects the cohesive collaboration of every EFYI team member. Safety, rigor, and professionalism define our core values," noted Zhao Lichao, Operations Manager. This extraordinary demonstration of technical mastery and artistic innovation stands as a testament to EFYI's collaborative spirit. True to its motto, EFYI delivers nothing but excellence.
