CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati & Flyfire Flying Drone Blanket controls fleets of quadcopters

The CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati & Flyfire Flying Drone Blanket allows fleets of quadcopters to take off simultaneously. And it could scale up to 10,000 units, making it the largest show ever. This concept product brings you closer to autonomous drone swarms with a range of applications from light shows to environmental sensing to aerial 3D scanning. Furthermore, the Flying Drone Blanket can fit inside a single suitcase. Each blanket could hold up to 16 drones while also doubling as a charging pad. To take off, each quadcopter makes a 45-degree handle turn and spins out of the blanket. You can even link the blankets together to create a wider launching area for fleets of unprecedented size. Compact and lightweight, they have bright LEDs so you can see even a single device from a long distance.
