I thought the drone/airport crisis a few months ago was fascinating. It never was even clear that there were drones and it could have just been mass panic. Also, it seems to me very possible that you could set up drones programmed to fly through the airport at intervals and then land on a charging pad somewhere until it was time to take off again and run for days without human interventions. AFAIK, this wouldn't be stopped by the current system of jamming RC signals.

Anti collision capability would screw up the choreography during the show so won't work I wouldn't have thought.
I'd imagine there are a few different ways of approaching. A simple path in each drone or highly complex inter drone communication. Both could be used for a show I'd imagine.
Would be interesting you are right so deffo gonna have a look at it when I've got time. Maybe NF can help us out here. I'd be surprised if he hasn't already written something that's better than what they've got already.

I heard an interview with a guy who put on the show and he said they are each programmed to hit certain GPS co ordiantes at certain times and didn't mention anything about them communicating with each other to avoid collisions.

The Maduro attempt a couple of years ago was, I think, how it is going to go in future.

Give it five years and London will look like some futuristic Sci fi city with flying advertising everywhere.
Definitely a lot of money to be made in this area.
