Frequently Asked Questions

Drone shows are a disruptive technology ahead of its time. Our rates start at 16,000 euros for a show performed multiple times at the same venue. Find detailed pricing information for a drone show online .

We offer pre-designed set designs each season.

We recommend allowing two months to properly plan each milestone.

Please note that the prefecture’s processing time for permit applications is 45 days for a public performance and 30 days for a private performance.

Our pre-filled forms help ensure that the prefectures respond quickly.

Together, we’ll work to find a new date that works best for you.

Yes, all the shows we create are based on a specific theme.

Then we look for images and inspiration that we can adapt into performances.

If you have an idea, our creative team would love to hear about your project.

The only limit is your imagination.

More specifically, our technical limit is 65,534 drones.

Allumee produces shows exclusively outdoors.

Our drones determine their position in space using signals transmitted by GNSS satellite constellations (GPS, GALILEO, BAIDU).

The restrictions are similar to those for fireworks; we are limited by strong winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms.

Yes, we can operate above water. This requires additional precautions, but it will greatly simplify the process of staging a ballet in a densely populated urban area.

Our drones have a flight time of 25 minutes.

However, for safety reasons in the event of very low temperatures or very strong winds, we design shows that last no more than 20 minutes.

Nevertheless, we can envision two fleets of drones taking turns every 20 minutes to put on a continuous show.

That will depend heavily on the area covered in the sky and the density of the drones.

A drone is visible from up to 5 kilometers away; however, on its own, it will be difficult to spot among other light sources.

On the other hand, 200 drones flying in a tight formation can easily exceed those 5 kilometers.

That is exactly the question the Directorate General of Civil Aviation asked us, and we wrote a 200-page report to explain it.

They liked the answer! And we’re allowed to fly anywhere in Europe.

In summary: A high level of security and simple, easy-to-follow procedures.

The risk to the public is extremely low; we have:

• Software Security Measures
• Hardware security measures
• Observers
• In the worst-case scenario, the drone will fall into the exclusion zone, where there are no people.

We prefer to leave this area to specialized companies because it goes against our values; these shows cause a great deal of disruption (pollution, noise, fire).

Technically, with two fleets taking turns, we can put on a continuous show.

With just one fleet, it will take us 30 minutes to change the batteries and calibrate the drones.

We’ll take care of this part to make sure nothing is missing on the big day.

Yes, our drones are reusable. They are designed to fly for thousands of hours, so we consider them a sustainable resource.

We know that 70% of emotions are conveyed through sound. At Allumee, we are committed to providing a sound and lighting system that will delight audiences.

In order to respond to your request as accurately and quickly as possible, we need the following information:

• The desired duration of the show.
• The number of drones you’d like. Please visit the “Our Shows” page to see what’s possible.
• The possible flight zone(s). A Google Maps link would be ideal.
• The date of the performance.
• The type of performance desired: a show from the catalog or a customized show.
